Is it a right or is it a privilege to have a car ?

Hence their tactics:-

• Slowly ratchet up fuel duty
  
• Ratchet up VED for the worst offending vehicles
  
• Lower VED for the cleaner vehicles (and then get fucked over by VW spoofing results, etc)
  
• Zero rated VED for green vehicles
  
• Allow initial testing of driverless vehicles
  
• Move to newer technology (like ANPR equipped patrol cars cross linked with insurance/MOT/VED databases) to increase compliance
  
• Invest in better public transport
  
• Don't invest as much in new roads
  
• Campaigns to get people to live healthier where they will (hopefully) leave the car at home for some journeys
  
  

Smoking:

• Slowly ratchet up tobacco duty
  
• Ban smoking from bars
  
• Ban smoking from many public places
  
• New technology (vaping, that is way less harmful)
  
• etc
  
  

Slowly slowly catchy monkey. Nudge. Or whatever else you want to call it.
