sorry, still in a hurry. The basic idea is that the second one (as Jim D suggested) is perhaps a bit inequitable as it's a user fee for a public asset. But the first one is just unconscionable. It's a road that's already built and paid for, and you're being charged to use it? That's like someone borrowing your watch and charging you five quid to tell the time!

The analysis is obviously quite different. Actually, we're getting both, apparently. How would the analyses differ? Bill
