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.

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

Can't get much cheaper than £1 per litre. Oh I love sunflower oil
I wonder if that means they'll be removing the duty from veg oil too then??

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.

RE: Another step to an Orwellian nightmare UK
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!
