    As it appears fruitless to continue to talk about RUC for cyclists (it ain't gonna happen, coz it can't) maybe we can put that to one side.

    Its not just about the tax. I dont understand why they are ditching the pay at pump. It is very efficient way of collecting the money. I can understand the need to introduce the RUC for full evs, and with a little massaging they could target the PHEVs and the Hybrids (more) fairly
    The explanation must be that they want to introduce congestion charging and the like. So there is the requirement for devices on every car. Gonna be hella expensive to start with

    I dunno, trackable helmets, trackable mouthguards, there's probably an ambitious executive somewhere at ACC looking at upping his bonus right now...

    $40 for the tracker from the reports I've been hearing, 40% of the existing fleet probably need one (1.5 million vehicles from some rudimentary googling), that's a nice $60 million windfall for someone.
