If one starts with the premise that the air and the sea belong to everybody , equally, one then has Governments "defending" the air/sea surrounding their "territory"....then we move forward , to a decision that, not only will we have a set of "traffic rules" to ensure safe passage,but we'll decide to regulate who is, or isn't allowed access to what is already their right to use.

GA is already hidebound by legislation and costs it makes a substantial contribution via fuel duty and keeping the Belgrano in coffee.

Perhaps you'd all be happy if tollbooths got set up on the most congested roads? Don't want to pay?...divert round the "B" and unclassified roads , then.
The HGV's pay far more than you do, so they get priority!

Yea! that would go down a bundle!
