They did a trial with 3 people, it was on the news. The lowest price was £20 somethin a month, a women who just went to work and back on quiet roads. Seems reasonable they said, wtf it works out more a year than normall tax on a large ebgined car and would be more per month if she had a ****in life and drove elsewhere :evil:

Could be a stinger for you then Coops! I saw it on the news aswell, the white van man had to pay a fortune! lol.
Wouldnt they have to fit a tracker or something along those lines to be able to charge you properly?!

Yes, they would want a black box fitting to every car, which means they would be able to moniter speeds if they so wished.

yeah they would need a black box fitting to every car, will cost them a fortune as im not paying for one! and as mentioned they will be able to moniter your speed/where you go etc, which is a invasion of privacy isnt it?

Worth doing though, pigs may fly.
