Pay by the Kilometer

Great Britain is proposing a radical change in the funding of highways. It has announced a scheme to abolish fuel taxes and impose graduated fees based upon location and time of day when a motorway is used. The fees would range from 2p to GBP1.34 per mile; and they would be collected by electronic tags now in such fashion on bridge and toll roads. Here is a leader from today's Telegraph on the subject. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2005/06/06/dl0602.xml
