The notion is that the current road tax (over UKP100 per annum) is
repealed and, instead, drivers pay by the journey, those journeys
being enumerated via GPS receivers in every car and, presumably, the
mother and father of centralised or distributed databases.

Nothing on http://www.cfit.gov.uk/ as all this is pretty obviously the
result of a leak.
