Default The effects of a road congestion tax

Pete Smith you missed the point, not read earlier posts.

We were discussing the proposed satellite / gps tracking and congestion
charging private cars
as proposed by the EU boffins aided and abetted by mad prof. Begg.
(not speed limiters)

Indeed you were. Someone made a comment about something, and Conor thought
they may have been having a go at truck drivers, and I then told him they
probably weren't.

The point was that would they make a law against having "a blown fuse"?
They would probably say that the hardware has to be fitted and functional
at all times.

I then asked Conor (who drives a truck, and who therefore has speed
limiting hardware in the truck) what the legal position would be for him
"to have a blown fuse", and the result is that it needs fixing very soon,
ie the same day. If cars have speed limiters (GPS or otherwise), they will
probably put a law in place to ensure that it is working at all times, and
if it isn't, it needs fixing within hours.

Pete.
