AD reports that “The end of the pay-as-you-drive charge is near”. According to the paper, the introduction of the scheme seems unlikely, now that the Christian Democrats (CDA, Prime Minster Balkenende’s party and former major coalition partner) have said that all preparations should stop because the cabinet has fallen. Without CDA backing, there is no parliamentary majority for the controversial scheme. The party refuses to say whether the pay-as-you-drive charge will make a comeback in the CDA election programme.
