A total of 17,500 AA members were questioned, with 86% stating they did not believe that the Government would deliver cuts to fuel duty and road tax in the event of launching a pay-as-you-go road pricing scheme.

Despite the lack of trust in the Government, only 46% of the AA members asked said they would oppose road-pricing, compared with 42% who were in favour of the scheme.
