will be implemented by the Oregon DOT in partnership with Sanef ITS Technologies America and Intelligent Mechatronic Systems, the latter supplying the aforementioned OBD mileage reader.

Wanna bet that the "partners" contributed some coin to the back pockets of some overlords at the Oregon DOT and some Oregon pols?

Be careful if you have out-of-state plates. Like the guy who died for selling individual cigarettes in New York, people with out-of-state plates in Oregon will be continuously hassled.

All auto insurance companies are in bed with each State’s DMV.

If we get a moving violation or worse, every state notifies our auto insurance companies and our rates go up.

If we don’t get moving violations our rates can go down.

To get better rates if we don’t drive as much, we turn in our mileage each quarter to our insurance company. If you don’t believe that data isn’t shared with the states’s DMV’s, you still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Great Pumpkin.

Last but not least, if you travel with your smartphone in your vehicle, they know, who you are, where/when you started your trips and where/when you ended your trips. This identification system was recently used on a very busy road connecting two counties to identify regular commuters and visitors and times of travel. We are so brainwashed re the great eco bs, only two letters of complaint hit the local fish wraps after this collective info was published in the local fish wraps.

the state will offer two options to its motorists: pay at the pump, or pay a 1.5-cent rate per mile traversed

So electric car owners will all opt for the pay at the pump option and still avoid paying taxes since they don't use gas pumps. How will this help fill the state's gap caused by EV owners not buying gas?

They are not installing anything on my car, I will go to jail and pay fines before that. And with other Realtors and traveling sales persons, we will not comply. Just like our President, I don’t think this law is fair to people trying to make a living using their car, I think we should be exempt and deem it so!!

Ignorant beyond belief. The increase cost to truck in supplies will be passed on to consumers. So watch your food and other items. Oregon, you are approaching the most idiotic State in the US.

Is there any way to spoof that OBD port and to reroute it to another module that you can program to register whatever mileage you want?

Is there any other way to tell the gestapo to go f___ themselves?

And if they travel out of state? How will they be made to prove what mileage was done in state?

I don’t understand why they need (technically) to pull anything off the OBD. I’m pretty sure every car has this little thing in the dashboard that has numbers on it that tell you how many miles are on the vehicle. An odometer, or something like that. Mileage that you report when you get an inspection, registration, oil change, etc etc.

The only exception being very few vehicles that have a mileage exemption.

It’s insanity that any American would submit to this level of government control.
