Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

answer Road Tech boss Derek Beevor warns that truck operators must be given satisfactory answers to the following key questions if Lorry Road User Charging (LRUC), due in 2007/8, is to be a success: • Who will pay for the on-board units (OBUs)?

• Will an LRUC company charge operators for their own data on vehicle movements?

• If an OBU breaks down who will pay for the replacement?

• Will a truck with a malfunctioning OBU have to be taken off the road? If so, who will pay for the downtime?

• Will an engineer be able to repair a faulty OBU at the roadside?

• Will the LRUC system be used to calculate speeding fines and other legal road traffic law infringements?

• Will the government's tax-neutral promise be modified to "only at off-peak-times"?
