The AA says the devil will be in the details when it comes to “time of use” charging. 

Transport Minister Simeon Brown says he'll introduce legislation by the end of the year which will see drivers taxed to use some sections of road at certain times. 

AA Policy Director Martin Glynn says while there are benefits, there are also kinks to be worked out. 

He says certain tweaks to the charge will likely be needed. 

Martin Glynn says people going to work or school at set times with no access to public transport need to be catered for.
