And if the charge is merely the average then all the above-average drivers will refuse to be monitored and effectively cheat the government.
There has to be an incentive to be monitored. It's the same as insurance companies in some states giving you a discount for having a black box to record your driving habits. It's the government saying "yes, we recognize that this is an imposition, and so we're going to cut you a deal". It's not a stick against the refusers as much as it is a carrot for those who go along.
