Yes my movements on here are 'logged' but the difference is I choose to use this(plus I could use any number of anonymisers). As for the HD storing all this info it is very easy to destroy a HD beyond the recovery of any goverment agency. I would not have a choice with the tracking of my movement.
There are lots of other considerations, People who already help the environment by car sharing are being tarred with the same brush, it was quoted that charges could be anythingfrom 4p/mile to £1.34. As mentioned I travel over 100 miles a day to go to work. There are no jobs in Accrington for what I am(highly) trained to do. I already help the environment and congestion by running my car on LPG and car sharing with a guy from Blackburn. With the introduction of these charges that will probably go out the window as I will be tempted to switch to my motorcycle(as these tend to be less taxed).
