Peter, we already have charging per mile, although averaged across geography and time - it's called fuel duty.

So we have to ask ourselves what more can be gleaned by GPS tracking.
The obvious answer is crime detection. However, this won't happen, because criminals will be the first to disable their GPS units, just as they try to hide all other evidence of their wrongdoing.

The real reason is average speed infringement, or rather the revenue Mr. Brown can get from it. If 'big bro' knows you got from A to B in less time than a constant 70mph allows, you automatically get a brown envelope on your door mat...
