Road Pricing

 

As a reasonable law abiding citizen, I object strongly to having a black box in my car, that tells the government where I am at all times. And yes, I don't like identity cards either!

The main reason I'm against an on-board system, is how are you going to fees from those who have to run a car, but can't afford too? We all know that a significant proportion of the London Congestion Charge is not recovered.

I suspect too, that as it would be such a vote loser, it will be quietly dropped before the next election.

If we're seriously about cutting emissions, we should ban cars that can't do thirty to the gallon and make fuel about 10 pounds a gallon.
