I don't see how bringing logic & common sense to this discussion is going to help much, Stu
a simple system where road tax is linked to engine size & increased enforcement of the requirement to have insurance & a road fund licence, would suffice, in my opinion...
Realistically, how long would it take to implement a 'black box' system - given previous disasters in Government IT projects, too long - we need a sensible solution now - not spin & promises for tomorrow
