Perhaps when we leave EU ,foreign HGV's will have to pay to
travel UK's highways.

The proceeds could go towards improvements, as clearly needed here.

I reckon there will be enough inflation without idiotic ideas like that.

So you don't want foreign lorries to contribute to the upkeep of the roads that they use? Strange - presume you expect it to be funded by te UK taxpayer instead then.

Think it through. If we charge, they will charge. Inflationary. Goods will go up in price already.

It's about making the hauliers pay an even rate rather than filling up with Diesel outside the UK rather than pay UK fuel duty, which is the highest in Europe, and therefore contributing to the Wear & Tear on the roads rather than get us to pay for them via other forms of taxation.
