00:00Yeah, I could see that happening to be fair. You'd probably think of it more like the financial way, but it would have positive impacts for the environment.
00:10But I feel like the other ways, it could limit people from, if they want to go see family, they'd be like, do I want to waste the miles and stuff like that?
00:20But it could have good impacts for the environment, yeah.
00:23It'd be good to get people getting on public transport, because that's always good for the environment.
00:27And good for the local economy as well, public transport.
00:32Yeah, I didn't think about that.
00:33Yeah, I don't think it's fair. I think I'd prefer it to just have standard road tax.
00:39I think, you know, hiking, you know, just trying to kind of hack money out of people because they are travelling more is just a no-go.
00:47I get the idea behind it. Congestion-wise, don't think it's going to make a bland bit of difference, because if people want to use the car, they'll just pay it.
00:54So I see what the idea is, but I don't really agree.
