I still think you€˜re over-complicating this. Taxation doesn€˜t need
continuous mileage monitoring, it could be paid monthly or even annually
based on milometer readings....


A system that would require a small army of people to read the odometers
and another small army to collect the revenue. Whereas road fuel duty,
is collected automatically at the point of sale.


No, you could just plug into a local terminal (or even use Bluetooth)..


The proposal was that this was something that could be done without any
new equipment being retrofitted to the car.
