Samenvatting
From the point of view of the motorist the chances of Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) are highly overrated by theorists and politicians. In practice ERP cannot meet the requirements it is supposed to achieve: secured road construction funding, fair road taxation, and efficient traffic management. What ERP actually could achieve - generation of more money for public coffers - can be done with virtually the same result but in a more cost-efficient manner through traditional road taxation. ERP is not a tool of fiscal policy, it can only be a transport policy tool.
