“Wait till people really understand the ‘digital license plate’ for your car that’s coming”

Wow! I can now get pulled over immediately for :

1> Speeding (even if .1 MPH over the limit ... TOUGH!)

2> Registration (forgot to send it in by a day or two... TOUGH!)

3> Inspection / Emissions (again, get really busy, procrastinated, failed to do it, but was going to on the weekend ... tough!)

4> Stoplights ... if I cross right when the light is changing to red, I’m doomed ... TOUGH! Instant fine.

5> Failing to come to a complete, dead stop at a stop sign. You only slowed to 1MPH at the stop sign ... TOUGH!!

I’m sure there’s a lot more. I’m sure the car insurance companies are going to *love* this too. Doesn’t matter if 20+ years of driving shows that you’re a safe driver ... each “microviolation” will add up thus jacking rates up through the roof.

What’s awesome is that I get to pay $600 for one of these for the privilege of driving (this is on top of the obscene amount of taxes paid for roads). At least the state will send cool advertisements on my plates and make more “revenue” for all of their various pet projects.

Figures MA loves this idea ... I’m sure PA is chomping at the bits to adopt this nightmare.
