The difference is pay at the pump or pay via what your car's embedded GPS is reporting. GPS also allows them to know when and where you were speeding, and since Sweden went cashless, they can simply deduct the fines from your bank account. Compliance is irrelevant.

If having a GPS device on your person becomes law, then avoiding the tax by riding a bicycle, walking, riding a horse etc is defeated.



Could you link through to the article you read this in, because I live in Sweden, own a car, and have not heard or seen anything about this.
