There was an interesting traffic management scheme in a UK city where average speed cameras were installed for 'safety' reasons. Average speed did fall by 5mph, which meant stage 2 couldn't be implemented as revenue from fines had decreased so much the expensive anpr system couldn't be afforded. The use case was safety, yeah of course it was
Anpr is in cities and motorways. Its not everywhere. It would cost a fortune to do that and cover all possible routes. It's easy for boundaries like conjestion zones but not normal travel
I am of a generation where you took work wherever it is. Like many outside major cities I don't have access to public transport so rely on a car, as dose my wife. We both have to travel 50 plus miles everyday each way. We could get more local jobs paying far less. We would then pay a lot less tax, so where is the government gain?
We, like many others, also provide regular home care to relatives who are over 50 miles away too. That so not happen of priced out of reason, so social care budget for the country will go up.
I have made choices re cars etc to keep the economics viable. If the economics change
My son lives 200 miles away. That could become an expensive visit.
His experience of black boxes for young driver insurance was far from encouraging. We had to challenge errors repeatedly using dashcam footage. There is a tendency to believe tech, but it's not always right
There are lots of consequences to changing systems. I just hope the Westminster elite take a national view rather than a London centric one
