£900 Annual Road Tax?

[Guest Tony Norton]

Hello All One point I haven't seen mentioned in the "Meja". To implement a "road usage" charge it would be necessary to be able to check road useage; only possible by "chipping" all vehicles, and satelite tracking. Once this is done "they" will know where every vehicle is at any time of the day and night. The formula distance/time = velocity, comes to mind. Goodbye speed cameras of all types, we've got you wherever and whenever we want to "do" you, and raise a bit more income into the bargain. Only problem is that, within a year 50% of drivers will have lost their licences and the country will be gridlocked by the other 50% of "strict limit observing" vehicles. Imagine 3 lanes of a motorway all travelling at just under 70mph. White van man (particularly those driving Merc Sprinters) would never be able to get anywhere to do his job! Ah well. Tony N
