Well, debates about the "real" story about this potential legeslation could go on for days, and I was kinda trying to shy away from it since I'd like to compile a list of "real" problems to the scheme,  especially the technical and logistical implications of it.

Personally I think we're just going to sink a ton of cash into a "pilot" scheme before determining that it's unworkable and introduce a 30p price hike on petrol and a toll system for all motorways,  at which point we'll all breath a huge sigh of relief as we're only paying double what we are now, and not the thrice the press have been suggesting ...

I.e.  Smokescreen ..    

However,  back to the debate at hand..

Sooty:
You are spot on the Daz, smoke screen it is, tell you that the price is going to £50 from £20 to drive to work and the when you throw your toy out the pram tell you they understand the problem and reduce it from £50 to £30 you think you have won the debate. WRONG you just lost the debate to the sum of £10.
Let’s face facts, there is only two reasons a government makes a decision in the country, to make money or win votes.
This will not win votes so draw your own conclusion.

Range Rover Blues:
It ignores the fact that monitoring where and when I go is an infringement of my civil liberty, for this reason those average speed cameras were held up for about 2 years.
