Another step to an Orwellian nightmare UK
The govt and opposition parties are actively considering scrapping fuel duty, road tax etc and replacing it with a Pay As You Go system that could or is likely to be a black box in your car.......


Yup you get it the state will know everywhere you go, everywhere you have been, your commonest routes etc Big Brother is watching you.

Get a modded motor on a Q plate - they're always changing engines / chassis etc. Be very hard to keep installing these boxes.

Always looking for new ways to increase the tax on the public. Too difficult for a quick solution and too late to fix the solutions they face now. Yet they will spend the money. Scum.

Nice bit about being an old school electronic engineer is I know just how to make something electronic fail without any signs of it being tampered with.

So ask me if I'm worried about a little black box.
Bring it on, I'll save a fortune!
