@ greent:That is a level of privacy I could not imagine anyone giving up.

That's the whole thing. Politicians campaign with nice slogans motivating the VMT, but nobody wants a bill that specifies where you have been when.

One thing that that article does not state is that one of the key elements of the Dutch VMT would be that pricing would vary based on time and location. During rush hour, driving would be more expensive, especially in bottle necks. Problem is, all of the country is a bottle neck at rush hour. Totals of 200-300 miles of combined traffic jams are normal during rush hour. In a country that is a twice the size of NJ.

This site give traffic info based on GPS tracking. Just look at the numbers. Rush hour there is midnight-3am and 10am-1pm here.
