I don't think there's much between us here, Adrian. I agree, overwhelmingly, with the majority of what you say. And like you, I do have a problem with vehicle tracking. Part of me is attracted to the idea, for in the same way the internet provides about the closest we can get to a pure economic model, so vehicle tracking would provide the best basis on which road charging might be applied. The London congestion charge, much as I support it, is too blunt an instrument. Vehicle tracking would allow a much more subtle intervention with charging accurately related to real congestion. But the civil liberties argument is a killer, I agree. I don't know how to square this circle. Steve [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
