Is it wrong to think of this as more of a solution than as a problem?

Rather your car will auto-download its mileage to the gopherman and you will get a monthly bill, just like your electric and gas smart meter. Then the gopherman will limit your electric usage to save the poley bears. You will own nothing, go nowhere and be happy.

That is the WEF agenda, they will have total control over your travel, your spending, what you see and hear, and what you can tell others. And you will be unarmed so you can't resist, and won't be able to use social media to organize any resistance. You will do what you are told, when you are told, to serve the WEF masters.

Yep.. I think people who walk on sidewalks should also pay a user fee. Our roads could have a couple extra lanes if they got rid of sidewalks..🙄..

An EV road tax at registration is the exact way it needs to be handled.

An EV road tax is a far better option than a tax on electricity, which is another way the government could make up for the loss in revenue from a reduction in fuel tax. That option would have us paying more for everything that we use electricity for, which is why it would be attractive to the government.

No, but the guy taking advantage of bike lanes is using the road as well and since he likely doesn't have insurance either , how is the 9 year old going to be compensated after he's run over by the Speedo dressed guy ignoring traffic rules ?

You have some serious issues.. should probably see someone about it..rage fuelled jealousy is not a good look..🤣..

So.. should pedestrians pay for crossing the street? They don't have insurance.. I've had thousands of close calls with pedestrians illegally crossing in schools zones. Who's gonna pay for that? I'm not.. hell nowadays I'd be surprised if 50% of the cars on the road have insurance.

Oh.. and I seriously hope you don't "accidentally" hit a bike commuter.. your posts won't help your "innocence".
