So what happens if I disconnect my speedometer cable say 11 months a year? I bet it would be a new felony offense.

I would be GPS based...odometers to easy to tamper with.
Of course it is possible to ‘spoof’ a GPS device ;-)

They want to track it via a GPS. Disconnecting the odometer cable won’t help you. I find myself far more prone to cuss these days. I’m resisting the urge to cuss now, cast aspersions on their ancestry, and otherwise suggest how these b@st@rds <===oops, slipped through, should be dealt with.

absolutely, and the fine greater than driving 25,000 miles per year.

If the proposal is anything like Massachusetts’, they will be placing a GPS system in every car. So they will know your whereabouts every hour of every day; they will be able to give tickets based upon mathematical calculations....

They will be putting a GPS installed in your Vehicle. They will know how many miles you drive and exactly where you go.

Modern cars won’t run right with the speedometer disconnected. The transmissions won’t shift properly, etc.

Won’t work. You will be tracked by GPS.

I’m sure that a lot of people will be getting tax evasion charges if the mileage tax is passed.
