In principle I have no objection to paying per mile, we already do it in the form of fuel tax!
Such a scheme would have to copletely replace the existingVehicle Excise Duty in order to be acceptable and would have to come with a reduction in fuel tax. That would result in a system that's fairer to drivers who do a lower than average milage per year, classic car owners who only drive their classics for a few months each year for example.
Would a GPS base system be able to accuratly monitor the posistion and speed of the many millions of cars on our roads at any one time? What if your tranceiver box 'fails'? Would the system get confused by an off-roader going 'green lane' driving? etc etc....
