There’s been talk of a by-the-mile tax for about twenty years. The technology is there. Your phone knows where you are at all times and how fast you’re going. My guess is that’s what they’ll use. In which case, I’ll just leave it at home.

I leave the phone at home--that must mean I am at home and driving zero miles per hour!

The bastards would have to buy me the phone to track me, and pay the monthly bills.

There will be a minimum tax for those who do not have a phone, forgot to pay their bill, etc. Nobody escapes what the government demands.
