Pay as you drive... Keep hearing this on BBC Radio London. Are they really implementing it? Trial in SW London coming soon.

If anyone tries to put anything in my car, I will hurt them.

Yes, it involves some sort of tracking device. Of course, you write this but, like everyone else, you'll just lube up and accept it.

A Bombing campaign springs to mind. Lets screw the biggest oil users over and not our own economy.

Ah, so we get to pay again to use the roads that we already pay for. Some people would call that fraud...

It is combined with Pay as you breath - it will be illegal to hold your breath as well.

All these crazy ideas come from the SE because you all sit around in mega traffic and think the rest of the country is the same. Well it isn't so keep your ideas to yourself.

Please Government stop thinking up new bonkers ideas to get us off the road IT IS OUR COUNTRY SO fk OFF

Or disable/remove it to prevent them getting any data, I don't do lube.......

In New Jersey we actually have a clean air tax.
20 years ago people said "they would tax air if could" Well they do here.

It does not appear on a New Jersians payslip but is in the employers contributions.

We also have tolls on all our bridges, I have to pay to get out of N.J. but I consider it a bargain

I'm not sure why this is still rearing it's head. It's a 100% certified election-loser. I guess Labour know the game is up and are just pushing ahead regardless
