Foreign Lorries To Pay For Road Use in UK

The video discusses the introduction of a £10 daily road charge for foreign truckers in the UK starting in 2015. This charge aims to level the playing field for British truckers who face competition from cheaper foreign fuel costs. European law requires that British truckers also pay the charge, but they can claim a rebate. The financial impact on the UK is minimal, with an estimated net revenue of £20 million annually. The video also explores the potential for future road charging systems and the perspectives of European truckers on UK costs.
