Charging system to change for Dutch motorists
Albuquerque News.Net
Sunday 15th November, 2009
Dutch drivers will pay less to buy a car but will be charged tax on every mile on the road.
The Dutch government has agreed to charge drivers of an average passenger car a base rate of 0.07 US cents per mile beginning in 2012.
Drivers of heavier, more polluting vehicles will pay more.
The cost will also go up for driving in peak hours.
But the annual road tax and purchase tax for new cars will be abolished, reducing the price of a new car by approximately 25 percent.
Driving will be tracked by GPS and sent back to a central computer.  Email this story to a friend

Dutch drivers to be charged for road miles
Brilliant! - duh! Hey, I’ve just come up with a simple way of collecting such charges without the expense of Big Brother GPS monitoring - it’s called Fuel Excise!!!

I think it was timely to generate this new law in transportation. It will be a big help limiting and concisely operating this transport business if this said law will be implemented.
