Comment on Stop the free ride: all motorists should pay their way, whatever vehicle they drive
No1@aussie.zone 6 days agoIt could be reported each time the car is serviced or at registration time. Seems to happen in the US like that - mainly as a disincentive to winding back the odo.
If people misreport it, it would be caught when they try to sell the vehicle. Eg, if I report 5K per year, but actually do 20K, then if I try to sell it in 5 years time, and it shows 25K on the Registration info, but 100K on the odo, then I’m not buying that car lol

Good point, I hadn’t thought of a car rego declaration. Servicing seems like not the best idea as it would make life harder for poor people, who might stretch out servicing and would probably do it more if there was an additional cost at that point.
I’m scared that continually tracking your car will be the default option though. Best argument against it is to argue that it would put victims of domestic violence at further risk
