Comment on Australia’s roads are full of giant cars, and everyone pays the price. What can be done?
Tenderizer@aussie.zone 2 hours agoPeople are surprisingly unkeen on tracking in their car. So kilometers driven wouldn’t work.
I’d say just go with a fee based on the weight of the vehicle, exponential of course. We need fewer heavy cars, fewer kilometers driven in just a side effect. And as a bonus effect maybe I’d be able to buy an EV without a range that’s 8 times what I actually need.

Eh, people can submit odometer readings once a year with their rego renewal.
Honesty based should be good enough. Penalties can apply if you’re caught tampering or severely underreporting.
