I WILL NOT have any road pricing cr*p fitted to my car.

This is the biggest flaw in the plan. How exactly are they going to install and manage a network of tens of millions of black boxes? With the government's track record of managing IT projects? Total overkill. ANPR cameras by the side of selected roads will tell them all they need to know. But fitting black boxes gives them your b@lls in a vice and whenever they feel like giving the handle another turn they will. How long before they start using them to gain evidence of speeding, etc?

Problem is, some greedy entrepreneur has sold this idea of a black box in every car to the government and they've stupidly fallen for it.

Well, they'll fit one to my cars over my dead body. If they do manage it, they might find it's a bit unreliable
