Some states have already started use license plate readers to calculate time and distance. If the calculation show you exceed the speed limit between to readers you are issued a ticket. So the technology is already there.

Maybe send out the bill quarterly for all cars- EV, gas, hydrogen, diesel, whatever.

What a horrible system. I doubt majority of Americans want to live in constant 24-7 surveillance state where even personal vehicle ownership and usage is tightly controlled by the government. I wonder how much of this nonsense people are willing to accept.

Also, I've driven through Italy which has this avg speed calculation system where they figure out if you were speeding based on how fast you get from one scanner to another. But this system is faulty too, because if you slow down anywhere in between the checkpoints your avg speed drops. It really doesn't prevent dangerous type of speeding that kills people, it's simply a fee extraction system for the naive. Someone can drive recklessly part of the way only to have to slow down due to traffic and will never get a ticket. Or they can make up the speed if they were stuck in traffic by speeding later, the avg. speed is still legit and won't result in a ticket, but they'd get there faster than if they followed posted speed all the way since they made up for the slowdown.

Ah contrare, you'd be surprised at how little value people will accept in return for surveillance. Just having roads is likely good enough, but most people accept tracking just to have a cellphone.

This administration would obviously sell that information to insurance carriers to jack up rates.

I'm fine with that; I don't like subsidizing bad driving EG I pay money to insurance companies -And- I've been rear ended several times. Why do I have to pay for that?

What I don't understand is aren't elected MAGA and MAGA citizens concerned about getting cancer?!? Bankrupting their grandkids? Getting listeria? Their kids getting shot at school?

I just don't get it.

WhatvI don't understand is you creating boogeymen every 15 minutes to force taxation for your pet projects. I understand you have a nirvana in your mind. If you want it, YOU pay for it.

I seriously walk around all day with listeria on my brain. I close all the windows and shades in my house to protect from listeria.

Sure, we should have toll booths stationed ever 5 miles on every road. That way you only pay for the roads you want.

Brilliant /s

Nobody put a gun to their heads to force them to drive big gas guzzlers. If they feel the need to drive a huge pickup truck or other vehicle they don't need because they don't wanna be judged by their MAGA buddies that's their own problem. REAL men don't give a shit what others think about what they drive.

Why do Republicans hate humanity?

That's not what the tax is for.

Why do liberals hate reality?

It’s their entitlement complex. They are entitled to drive those cars.

And then it’s everyone else’s fault (Biden’s, in particular) when they can’t make the payments in the mega truck.

I'd LOVE some reality. But you don't have any. You can't coherently explain what the tax is for. It was claimed that it's to "be fair" and pay for roads, yet Republicans also want to get rid of the gas tax, therefore we know that's a lie.

It pays for roads. It's that simple.
