A pity that in areas where the residents pay for their roads,
councils can't put toll stations on all roads not Highways Agency
maintained (unlikely to be used by cyclists) crossing into their

Maybe a system like on toll bridges that use an automatic payment
system like the Humbertag I have stuck to my windscreen that
deducts £1-50 from my account whenever I drive across the Humber
Bridge.

Yes, easy to do. It's not the 20th century where manned booths and
gates

would be needed.

A few pence could be sent to East Riding of Yorkshire council for
my damaging their roads and not paying council tax to them anymore.

Do you know whether they have a means of taking donations for a "road
fun
d"?

I believe it is called "council tax", but drivers from outside the
county don't have to pay it and as such get to use the roads for free.


Spongers!
