How about:
£1.00 X Road_area_of_vehicle X Annual_mileage for journeys over 10 miles.
£1.50 X Road_area_of_vehicle X Annual_mileage for journeys of 5-10 miles
£2.00 X Road_area_of_vehicle X Annual_mileage for journeys upto 5 miles.
Plus a bill for the total NHS expense caused by any incident which is the driver's fault.
Add to that an annual pollution charge of 99% of the scrap value of the vehicle.
Subtract £10 for every incidence of safe-overtaking of cyclists.
Then add on £1.50 for each unnecessary use of the horn.
