It's a tax on road use.
Agreed inflation was not running at 10% in previous years and the increase was a lot less.
It is effectively a tax on the COST of road use and RPI is as good as any. A lot of benefits etc are linked to RPI. Unfortunately, as nice as it would be, one cannot change the index used for increase every year depending on what suits us or the government
