It’s funny until someone gets hurt and then it’s hillarious. Poking the tiger in the cage again
Penalizing the Prius owners. Hilarious.
Typical of the Dims - “reward” folks for “saving” money/energy/environment, then tax them extra to offste the “reward” because the real bottom line is that the gov’t has a voracious appetite for our money.
A $100.00 yearly tax on clown cars?
Anyone with common sense can calculate how much tax they paid on their gasoline and diesel fuel in a year....and it will be one hell of a lot more than $100.00 yearly.
Another thing that will be popping up over the hill is the expense of disposing of the hazardous batteries of these motorized shopping carts. Who pays the bill for that?
The tax and spend green vultures in charge of Oregone have been playing around with this for at least a decade.
Soon they will get this data from many of our Auto insurance companies.
Progressive has this device that monitors how one drives and the mileage driven each quarter.
Many other companies have a discount if you drive less than their average customer. This is voluntary with the exception of the first odometer reading. The first reading is conducted at the insurance company’s local office. Then you send by email you quarterly mileage.
The near sighted ones say “this is just for insurance!”
Yeah sure buck! Each insurance company is hooked up with that state’s DMV to get info re tickets, DUIs and ?.
If the state asks for the mileage of the insured vehicles, the insurance companies will comply.
As a conservative, this may be the correct way. Why should we as gentle low mileage driving seniors pay the same as the women from hell drivers in their big SUVS roaring around town delivering their kids to school and other activities while their husbands drives the biggest pickup/suv they can afford to buy. Those vehicles and the big trucks tear up our roads faster than our smaller vehicles.
