Road tolls are on their way chaps, soon you'll be charged to use the M25.

I've no problem paying extra if it will result in noticeably less congestion and road improvement. But will it?
I doubt it

everything.
But really they need to sort it out, that toll just brings the M25 to a standstill, I hate that part of the M25 because you are bound to run into serious traffic going either way. Like when you come out of Dartford way heading to Essex, because of the sheer volume of people who are trying to get the fuck out of shitty old Kent and back to the good land the tolls just grind to a halt.

Well nothing can be done about the congestion hence why they are widening the m25. The ques to the tolls are never as bad as people make out it may take an extra 5-10 mins during busy times not exactly something to have an episode over is it?
The rise in tolls are a bit dubious but this is due to the fact they want people to use alternative routes if possible as pollution in the surround areas is pretty bad.
Luckilly I dont live too close it affects me but i still qualify for the concession which is a Brucie Bonus
