Question

Busy roads
Drivers in the UK are very angry at the moment!
This is because they are soon going to have to
pay more to use the roads.
In the UK, as in many countries, there are more
cars on the roads every day and this is causing
problems. People want to live in the country and
travel to work in the towns and cities but the
result is busier roads and more traffic jams.
One way to help the problem is for drivers to
pay for the different roads they drive on. For
example, a driver on a motorway will pay more
than a driver on a country lane. But drivers are
not happy. One driver, Harry Smith, says, ‘We
have to use these roads to get to work. The
trains and buses aren't very good so we don’t
have a choice. We have to drive. We already
pay a lot for petrol. The government just wants
more!’
Busy roads are definitely a problem but drivers
certainly don't think that this idea is the answer.
