Full Story: http://news.independent.co.uk/low_res/story.jsp?story=644303&host=3&dir=66 Satellite toll plan to make drivers pay by the mile Darling orders nationwide road pricing. Charge of �1.34 a mile on busiest roads By Francis Elliott, Deputy Political Editor 05 June 2005 British motorists face paying a new charge for every mile they drive in a revolutionary scheme to be introduced within two years. Drivers will pay according to when and how far they travel throughout the country's road network under proposals being developed by the Government. Alistair Darling, the Secretary of State for Transport, revealed that pilot areas will be selected in just 24 months' time as he made clear his determination to press ahead with a national road pricing scheme. Each of Britain's 24 million vehicles would be tracked by satellite if a variable "pay-as-you-drive" charge replaces the current road tax. *** The cost of tracking each one of the 24,000,000 every minuit will far exceed whatever they collect in tolls. Never happen.
