That would severely exacerbate traffic, I bet. A tollbooth at every exit onto a highway?

If you'll have PAYG, it just makes a lot more sense to turn the automobile into a super-surveillance device that the government has total control (at its discretion) over, so that whatever fees or tolls are assigned can be deducted automatically.

Any way you look at it, it's either a phenomenal increase in either bureaucracy or surveillance - likely both.
