It doesn't encourage people to buy electric cars does it? £3 extra per one hundred miles. Now, if you do say 9000 miles a year? £270 a year. I'm pretty sure people won't particularly welcome it. 10p when you go down the shops or 20p when you drive the kids to school will just be annoying.
Walking is a lot greener. I think like Oscar Wilde 'tis better than being ignored.

A crazy idea for socialist Labour would have maybe been charging this extra tax on electricity providers' profits? Along with a mandatory freeze in prices? Maybe tax the water companies a tax on every dividend they give out? Too radical probably.
England
Tax working people to pay for people who don't work.

you walk everywhere? Never get a lift in a car? or just a Labour hypocrite?
I'm a very keen walker but sometimes get a bus is that allowed.
Scotland
It is but you could run behind the bus and save the fare. Run behind a taxi and save even more.
Perhaps run behind a Boeing 707 and die a smokers death. You can choose your death.
That's Trans-port for you
Ireland
Choosing your death usually includes naked women and drink.
Scotland
Only if the wife finds out.
England
compared to what? If you do 10,000 miles that's an extra 300 per year
England
They will soon realise they can’t collect the miles done. They could do it via your MOT, only new cars don’t get an MOT for the first 3 years. People try not to charge cars on the street because of the higher VAT so charge at home and the black boxes they want in everyone’s cars monitoring us will take years.
England
Same old problem of those who don’t deserve spoiling it for those who do. Nudging people into work is the better solution, but they are causing unemployment and a lack of recruitment. Good old Labour.
Nudging with "extreme prejudice" to quote Harrison F.
