By all means, put additional tax on fuels to improve funding of chosen programmes, including public transport, but in my view VED on vehicles is an absolute must as a way of containing the problems caused by multi-car ownership per household.

what is your proposal as an alternative to multi car ownership when public transport is not a viable option? We became a multi car family so my children could take part in sport as without 2 cars we had no way to transport them to and from events.
I have 2 cars and a bike, I can only use 1 at a time so how does me owning more then 1 vehicle become a problem?
