:00:30. > :00:38.truck stop in Immingham. Crhspin, why has this law been introduced?
:00:39. > :00:43.This is all about the Government trying to level things up for all of
:00:44. > :00:48.these truck operators. Whether they are oversees all British run. The
:00:49. > :00:53.British ones are paying for the upkeep of the British roads. The
:00:54. > :01:00.overseas ones have not been doing so. But there is now a levy to even
:01:01. > :01:01.things up. Your operator should have paid a road user levy.
:01:02. > :01:06.Enforcing new regulations designed Enforcing new regulations designed
:01:07. > :01:09.to help UK hauliers. This was one of many foreign lorries stopped near
:01:10. > :01:16.Immingham on the day new ch`rges came in for overseas drivers using
:01:17. > :01:19.British roads. The new levy is paid by British and Foreign lorrx
:01:20. > :01:23.drivers. It costs ?10 a day up to a maximum of a ?1,000 each ye`r.
:01:24. > :01:32.However, British drivers will be able to claim their money b`ck
:01:33. > :01:35.through a reduced road tax. I think it will level the playing field
:01:36. > :01:40.between foreign lorries that come to the country and not contributing

:01:45. > :01:48.earlier than what was thought possible. Among those caught today
:01:49. > :01:51.were British drivers working for foreign companies. In this case, the
:01:52. > :01:56.Dutch firm had paid too little for the size of the lorry. We knew it
:01:57. > :01:59.was coming, but it was only because we spoke to other drivers that I
:02:00. > :02:03.knew that had started today. They've now been forced to return to the
:02:04. > :02:04.Netherlands with a ?300 find. But one Hull haulier says the levy

:02:22. > :02:24.think ?10 per day is really going to stop these guys wanting to come
:02:25. > :02:27.over. And there were similar feelings from drivers at thhs
:02:28. > :02:31.Lincolnshire truck stop. We've got to pay all the car tax, road tax,
:02:32. > :02:33.over there you have to pay `nd when over there you have to pay and when

:02:49. > :02:52.the Government is willing to adopt this system and can consider it in

:03:04. > :03:06.This does seem to be a point of principle, rather than raishng extra
:03:07. > :03:11.principle, rather than raising extra money for the Treasury, mainly
:03:12. > :03:13.because despite overseas lorries making 100,000 trips over hdre, 1.5
:03:14. > :03:17.making 100,000 trips over here, 1.5 million journeys once they get here,
:03:18. > :03:19.they still have to raise an awful lot of money to touch the sides of a
