Just an idea..
Granted, car sharing is a good plan. But only when it is possible to do so, and more often than not it is already happening, I drop someone off at home every evening.

These schemes I have heard about id not be keen on, I do not want a stranger in my car.

But don't penalise anyone who doesn't car share, the benefit to those who do is the split in the cost of fuel, the penalty for those who don't is they receive no benefit and pay all their own costs. Its nothing the government can force upon people, its a mindset that people need to get into.
