As for parking, you are very selfish. If everybody believed as you, where would you park, when you want to park wherever and whenever you want? Seeing as everyone else be be parking wherever they want. Let me ask you, why are there speed limits, why is it illegal to drive whilst using a mobile phone and why is it illegal to ride in a car without wearing a seatbelt?
Again, rubbish! You decided to throw some exaggerated figure into the air thinking it will add weight to your argument, but got caught out.

Because there are speed limits do not mean those imposed speed limits are right, or justified even.
Have you not heard of the 85 percentile rule?
If not come back and I will explain.
Speed is only a very small factor in accidents.
Where would everyone park if they did not have to pay? erm.... where they park now!
No need to buy more land to build car parks, all that changes is people are not charged.
If you're so for the surcharge how do you feel about the victim of domestic violence paying their own compensation?
Lets take this to the rediculous, a person being ticketed could thump the issuer then basically claim their fine back through a claim to the criminal injuries board.
Stealth tax, end of.
