A few surprises here, namely that PHEVs will pay a lower rate of RUCs, I was under the impression there would be a rebate scheme for petrol purchased.
No revisions to the weight brackets, which I imagine will be necessary before all vehicles eventually go to RUCs.
They will absolutely need to introduce lower levels, I suspect motorcycles may just pay a flat rate at registration time. Buying online isn’t too bad, but you do need to check your odometer against your RUCs every so often, and it’s easy to end up behind. It’s also annoying to have to pay in a big lump every so often rather than as you go with fuel.
I’d love to have an automated system that just charges you every thousand KMs with no action required by me.
That sounds like a nice system, not sure how you would implement it in existing vehicles
Possibly via something that connects to the OBD port?
That would cover most cars on the road
