Actually there were 1.8 million (not 8) against the road pricing scheme and I was one of them because of the ‘Big Brother’ nature of what was proposed.

The result of this scheme would be that all cars would be constantly monitored as to where they were at any given time, whether stationary, moving etc. Now I ride a bicycle so unless they plan to put these devices onto bikes as well I am not personally bothered but believe that this is way too much information in the hands of the authorities in what is still supposed to be a free society.

And on the question of the volume of data collected, would such a system be able to handle it. The chances of it being another hugely expensive budget overrun project are also quite high.
