Several countries already went to European court for it. But than Germany change some letters in the plans and keep going on.

Thanks Merkel, the Trump of Europe
what is so strange on it?

every german car and truck have to pay tolls in nearly every european country.
nearly every of those countries are delivering goods to other countries THROUGH Germany and they use the longest and most expensive motorways in whole Europe for free ???

why ?

why shall we pay for using the roads of other countriess and other countries donīt
have to pay for our roads? Germany have 12.900 km motorways and to keep that
working cost a lot of money.

there is no logic behind that.

did you ever drive through france til spain with a normal car?
the costs (one way are around 200 euros). did you drive through italy, spain, austria, czech republic, portugal, ireland, greecem croatia, poland, slowenia, czech republic, slowakia, hungary, romania, bulgaria or even switzerland for free ?

why do you call that a german invention ? these countries charge german drivers since centuries and the do not even have a fraction of the motorways Germany offers.

as far as i know in the netherlands motorways are still free but you have a few bridges and tunnels where drivers have to pay toll. Germany donīt have that and never had it. and on the other hand WHO need to go through the netherlands to deliver in other countries. 90% of your road traffic from outside is delivering to the netherlands. but in Germany 80% of the truck traffic from other countries goes through Germany into other countries.

I want to hear you when they would have something like the channel between france an england in holland and all traffic would go through holland for free and dutch taxpayer pays for repair your roads.
