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.

I'm just asking the questions.

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
Well, this is awkward...
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.

So that’s another APP on phone you paid for collecting your private info in background.Gonba be great for disease control having someone handling several thousand phones in a row at a checkpoint.
Original licence still an option but for how long…

Try flying anywhere out of the country and showing your phone drivers licence to a car hire company.

Those countries that have a digital licence also have a paper licence. The digital licence is only a backup and not accepted as ID for everything.

Best Frenemy you could have!
Least it's a government one, not a private company. Both will be available, can't imagine the physical copy will go away any time soon, this is just the start of the process.
