pretty sure revenue gathering will be at the forefront of this government's mind...
Modern vehicles' increasing fuel efficiency has resulted in the RUC as part of petrol price now not being sufficient to fund road maintenance so like most Western countries our government is planning to change this taxation model for one that works.
