Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Speeding tickets

[Charles Perry (charles]

I'm sure they'd make it work to their advantage. Let's say 1% of all drivers 
get a speeding ticket in a particular year, which I'm sure is high.

If instead, the government mandates a particular box, of which they get a part 
of the fee, now they can tax 100% of the vehicles sold every year. If they then 
mandate an annual inspection to make sure the box hasn't been bothered, now 
they can tax 100% of ALL vehicles EVERY year.

And, they can still write speeding tickets. Remember, people will figure out 
how to defeat these things - they always do. Now when those people are caught, 
they not only get a speeding ticket but a huge fine for defeating federally 
mandated speed control device.

Some of the small towns might get screwed in this scenerio, but I'm sure at the 
Fed and State level they will profit exponentially.

The real issue, thus, is whether Govt. would actually support or mandate such 
technology - if you can't 'speed', then they can't issue you a speeding ticket, 
can they - say goodby to that source of revenue, Govt.!

   The agenda, IMNSHO - is not "hidden"

   Oh, and it's not only "proposed" in the UK - it's being tested.

   They don't just MONITOR your speed - they push back on the pedal
   when you go to exceed the GPS-determined speed limit.
