Road Pricing instead of Fuel Duty ?

[roberto]

i saw something on my phone about this and being NON technical i wondered if anyone else has heard any details ?
i suspect it was nothing but it mentioned the following....

fuel duty could be swapped for Road pricing as motorists warm to the idea.
insurance companys could charge for the miles we do on yearly policies.
sat-nav could play a part in calculating costs.
sounds a bit Big Brother to me.

interesting if you only do a few miles
not so if you travel a lot

even if they dropped fuel duty it would probably be 70p a litre?
then fuel companys have a green light to increase those costs
yet again (stuff the motorist shall we)

it was an alert on my phone which has disappeared now
