So, under this political hypothesis, how do you explain the many (popular) toll roads currently in the USA that charge higher prices for heavier vehicles? Does that not constitute acceptance of a similar type of taxation?
- sokoloff 3y agoThe tolls that I’ve seen have usually been by size/vehicle categories, not by weight. In particular, an empty flatbed 18-wheeler (~25k lbs) is usually tolled the same as an 80K lbs 18-wheeler.
- blamazon 3y agoFair enough - by the same token a Miata and a Hummer EV almost always pay same price due to having same number of axles. But I think this is a technological limitation rather than a social one, it's a lot less expensive to count axles than to weigh in motion.
