Hoewel ik wel hoop dat de Belgen het WK winnen , is mijn advies toch om eerst goede wegen te maken en dan pas tol te heffen nos.nl/l/2622439

België wil verplicht tolvignet volgend jaar mei invoeren, ook dagpas mogelijk
Hoeveel iemand moet betalen, hangt af aan de uitstoot van het voertuig. Ook kunnen automobilisten kiezen uit een verschillende vignetten.
