Sounds like the mileage tax will be collected when the vehicle is resold, like a sales tax.

Actually the milage tax can be collected very easily. When the car is inspected or registered they will grab the odometer reading. The next year they will then turn around and get it again, take the difference in the mileage and then bill the poor SUV driver the difference.

Watch them make it a criminal offense to tamper with the odometers. I think mine would just have to suffer a fatal malfunction if this passes.

RISH said also that the courts would overturn it. How?

"Watch them make it a criminal offense to tamper with the odometers."

I believe that you'll find it already is. It illicitly changes the value of the vehicle for both resale and insurance purposes. Of course, when I worked for a dealership, they had an "odometer angel" that came in and handled such matters....

Tampering with odometers is already a criminal offense.

California's crime statistics will skyrocket!
