You can tie VMT charges to the curb weight of a vehicle to approximate the impact on roads. Carbon prices or gas taxes reward efficiency. Can driving style influence a car's impact on roads much? Anyway, conservative driving should be encouraged- the way to do that is to give insurers the ability to obtain more information, and charge according to high-risk behaviour. That's not going to happen in a while in Ontario, since car insurance is highly politicized and seems to be almost a human right.
But the future is bright! Think of all the data we'll soon be able to use.
