I agree, it is probably too difficult to impose, but that doesn't mean that the government will not try. I remember the pollution control checks from the past, where you had to get your car tested prior to renewing its plates. All old polluters were given an exemption and newer (less polluting) cars were required to pay $25.00 to undergo the test. The program was unworkable, but it was still imposed.

I can see this administration attempting to install a system for newly purchased autos only - giving an exemption to existing autos.

You’re ignoring absolutely everything I’ve said about the impossibility of building the infrastructure to support this ludicrous dream.

Once again: the supporting infrastructure cannot be built.

And no supporting infrastructure = no GPS/mileage tax.

How much simpler does it need to be stated to you?
