Congestion charge to be rolled out nationwide

[hyperD]

I think a car made out of fresh vegetables and runs on Turkey Twizzlers should keep the kids, chavs and Ruth Kelly away from it.

Just you wait. When the police know where you are and where you have been for every second of every day, they can fine you for speeding repeatedly. And then NL can have a nice little word with those chaps at the Outland Revenue who will charge you and extra 1 percent national insurance per penalty point. So 11 points would mean an extra 11 percent NI. Now that's the sort of plan that NL love.

Are you saying that everyone will be constantly monitored, with positions and times recorded?

I see. So each and every time I travel too far for the speed limit in a given period, I can expect a summons for speeding.

Wait a minute - I've just thought of something else. If a crime is committed unbeknown to me, but my car happens to have been anywhere in the area at the time, they will know and I can be hauled in for questioning.

But then again, think of the greater good. It's comforting that the government want to watch over us like this. I accept that it's for our own good, it stops us being antisocial, and it helps to solve crime.

I think this technology should be extended to ID cards as well.
