The AP reported today that drivers in Holland (Netherlands), will now "pay tax on road time, not on car" The AP also reported that this tax, will be raised until 2018 and can be adjusted if it fails to control traffic.
It is suppose to reduce traffic, and carbon emissions. The road tax, and car purchase taxes are repealed and instead this tax is put in their place.
Breakdown:
The Holland government want's to reduce carbon emissions to fight global "warming" (although China, recently had it's largest snow storm ever) but they don't want to come across as the police state force you to do it kind of government.
So they simply tax mileage tax, to nudge you in the right direction. Ya know, it's for your own good not to drive as much, so, we're just here to protect you. Look out for ya, trust me driving a lot is bad.
