So how does this work in real life? You put some sort of GPS thing in your car that tracks your driving and get a bill every month?

Won't this negatively affect people who need to drive a lot for their jobs?

People who drive a lot were already paying the gas tax. If anything this shifts the burden somewhat to owners of more fuel efficient cars and people who drive in more fuel efficient traffic.

isn't the main stress placed upon roads by heavy duty vehicles like lorries rather than family automobiles?

That and, in snowy areas, salting roads in the winter.

Amen... f[inks]ing spring potholes.
