Cameras, cameras everywhere, and no more fuel to drink...
I don't get the idea that this is somehow implausible, even in the very near future. The UK already has more surveillance cameras than practically every other country, and such systems are already proven and accepted - e.g. I paid for my NCP parking in Liverpool online on Monday, via ANPR, dead easy - and these existing technologies can be easily extended, practically everywhere.
It'll certainly be the norm within a decade, but will more probably be introduced within 5 years, as that's when revenues from fuel duty will really start to decline.
