At a seminar today the RHA contributed constructive ideas as to how this might be introduced; although it is clear that such a scheme would not be without its pitfalls.
The RHA has long stated that a Euro-Vignette scheme would be better than nothing at all provided that there is no significant adverse impact on professional UK hauliers.
The Association has offered to engage with the Department for Transport in further detail in order to assist it in its efforts to meet the April 2014 deadline for introducing
the scheme set by Ministers.
