Don't forget tracking you everywhere you go. And increasing the cost of everything shipped by road. And encouraging trucks to take backroads instead of motorways to reduce the amount they're charged.
Edit: and don't forget that the only reason they need 'road pricing' is because of the CO2 madness, which means they're going to have to replace fuel tax soon because they're banning fossil fuels.
BTW, we have something like 20x as many road miles per person in this province as the UK does, yet we pay significantly less in taxes on fuel, sales, and income. And no-one's trying to track us everywhere to raise more.
