They're pretty much planning to! The government are always murmuring about
nation-wide road pricing schemes. It's only a matter of time before they

At the moment, it's all down to Manchester, where they vote in December on a
congestion charge that will depend on electronic tracking - if that gets the
go-ahead, it'll serve as a test for the electronic systems (that have worked
just fine in 22 other countries for up to 20 years).
The relevance to London, as well as Dartford, is that our congestion charge
would be much cheaper to administer with electronic beacons in subscribing
cars
Though the tin hat brigade will get extremely excited - it makes Oyster look
like a civil liberties picnic.
