The UK too has the speed cameras and traffic light cameras ('Gatsos'). Like Germany, the registered ' keeper' of the vehicle has to identify the driver or pay the penalty themselves. This does not apply to car hire companies - they just have to say who they hired the car to.
Attempts to challenge this under Human Rights law have failed in the British courts.
I imagine the london charging system will operate under similar principles. The real problem in london is the edge of the zone - it is a sharply defined boundary. Fewer problems would be created by a graduated system.
