There will be road pricing long before that. Where you pay so much a
mile
travelled.

We already have road pricing of a sort. The further you drive, and the
less efficient your car is, the more tax you pay on the fuel you use.


er no, the less you drive and the more inefficient your car is the MORE
tax you pay per mile.

A double whammy. Once on the fuel then on the car tax.

The only benefit from most of the proposals I've seen for road pricing
would be a reduction in use of busy roads at peak times, which might
save some road building.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
