The authorities are planning to take you on “a journey” into a society with more surveillance and more taxes.
2025 will be a critical year as moves to legalise road pricing schemes are currently underway in Parliament. The congestion charging schemes will involve additional surveillance technology being used to monitor vehicle movements and a billing system which effectively turns existing public roads into toll roads. A combination of charges, fees, permits, and fines are used in the schemes to collect revenue and penalise private motor vehicle travel.
