Actually, it is important that a tax for road care stays a tax for road care so it would be better to replace it with a charge per km adjusted by weight of the vehicle (the primary contributor to differential road damage per km, atleast that we can reasonably and unobtrusively measuee)and adjusted to net out fuel taxes already paid for road maintenance. Could be collected once a year at registration renewal.

- verdverm 2y agoThe annual fee becomes hard for those living paycheck to paycheck, they would get a large bill. Maybe something akin to payroll, where you pay in regularly and then rebalance to zero once a year
- snapplebobapple 2y agothat argument doesnt really hold any water in amy context it is used. If you are capable of paying as a gas tax eaxh trip to the pump, but not as a yearly lump sum you probably shouldnt have a car, let alone an electric car.
- chung8123 2y agoThere are a lot of people that are really bad with money. Also when you don't have a lot of money you pay what is in front of you. I think this the person above is correct, something like a prepayment with adjustment at the end is probably a better solution.
- snapplebobapple 2y agoFacilitating people who are bad eith money feels like another way to let people be shitty, which should not be accomodated. There is an argument forprepayment if it in reases likelihood of collection but at least put a penalty additional fee on it to limit the fa ilitation of people beong shitty.
- verdverm 2y agothis attitude is how the haves keep most the have nots from ever escaping poverty could you try compassion for your fellow humans instead?
- snapplebobapple 2y agoI am showing compassion. Allowing people to be shitty is not compassion, it is future problems for everyone. Compassion is letting them know this is not ok
