More state discrimination against people in Scotland and rural communities...
More driving both increases the likelyhood of damages to vehicles or people, and makes this a useage-based fee - so while not perfect, it's the closest we can realistically get without becoming mired in PR mis-understandings or complications, technicalities, and enforcement difficulties.
It seems that our rulers want little more than us living in tiny microhomes in filing cabinets, staring at a screen all day for all our needs, while they get to enjoy the countryside as some kind of safari park where they can do what they want. Or at best trapped into some panopticon where you will be prevented from travelling more than a few miles/kilometres away. Most modern urban environments are soul-destroying hellscapes which is why some people don't want to live in them.
