Pretty soon every car in the UK will be fitted with an in car monitor to make sure that drivers don't go where they "shouldn't"? The British government wants to install monitors to track where cars are driven so that those who use the roads can be charged. Yeah, but what do you want to bet that every wronged spouse in the country will demand to see the records of where the other spouse's car has been?
I've read about E-Z Pass records being subpoenaed for divorce courts in the US, but imagine how much more useful it would be to be able to track a car like it's a cell phone, which you can at least turn off.
Uggh. Of course, I can imagine the government will encourage those who are planning on adultery to make sure that they use public transportation.
I'm only making a small, light-hearted point about this, but really is there no end to the amount of information that governments want regarding what the citizens are doing? This monitor is totally superfluous seeing as each gallon of gasoline (petrol) is taxed at an enormous rate already. I'd rather pay more tax on gas I use than be under constant monitoring.
