Drivers are being hit with expensive bills from Highways Agency contractors for emergency repairs. Motorists claim the prices are over-inflated and in some cases they question whether the repairs ever took place.

Sheila Kaur-Patel, who works as a BBC production manager, was shocked when she received an invoice for £3,000 for damage she had allegedly caused during a motorway incident.

Its not unfair to expect someone who damages something to pay the bill, so long as that bill is fair, thats the issue

How could anyone who agrees with giving away £40k a year each to the country's wealthiest people, while telling everyone else we need to tighten our belts, have any concept of fairness?
