If you think tolling has gone too far in the states, just be glad you’re not driving in the UK.

The British government has proposed a new tolling system in which the nation’s 24 million vehicles will be tracked individually by satellite and charged per mile, UK newspaper The Independent reported on its Web site.

Certain areas in the country will be selected to take part in a pilot program and a nationwide pricing system will be developed within two years, Secretary of State for Transport Alistair Darling told the media outlet.

Although specific costs have not yet been announced, a government feasibility study suggested drivers could pay up to 1.34 pounds – roughly $2.44 in U.S. dollars – for each mile they travel on the nation’s overcrowded roads.

A full nationwide system probably won’t happen for at least a decade, according to the media outlet. But regional systems could start surfacing in as little as five years.
