credit sized GPS tracker thingies? Man, that would be fun to strap on a remote controlled airplane - blast by at about 100 mph and then do a U turn down the other lane and then straight up and out of sight. heh heh

I'm just sitting here watching the Tour de France. All the bikes have
little transponders on them the size of credit cards...here in the
USA there have been proposals recently to abandon the fuel tax and
impose a mileage tax using GPS technology. Why? Isn't a fuel tax
better if your goal is to encourage fuel efficiency? To lower CO2
emissions?

Or is there a hidden agenda to increase revenue by constantly
monitoring everyone's speed? Such has been proposed in the UK. Then,
if you have a revenue shortfall, it then becomes a simple matter of
lower the speed limits to even less realistic levels, while hiding
behind the "safety" curtain. Statists never rest.

They want us all on the bus

Yeah, I hate that "logic."  I once passed -- quite safely, with
plenty of room -- a few cars that were bunched up in front of my p-
car.  They were probably going around 50 in a 55 limit area.  The
officer had absolutely no sympathy for the sensible argument that
it was a lot safer to pass at a speed in excess of 55, thereby
dramatically reducing the time in which I was in the opposing lane.

I got my first ticket last Thurs in the Ferrari. I was behind a
slow moving Subaru (he was going 35-40 in a 55) so when traffic
cleared, I passed. A County boy was behind an approaching truck.
He said I hit 71 before slowing back to 55. He was by the book.
Said that its NEVER ok to exceed the posted speed......PERIOD. And
he wrote me up with a smile......

Bummer!
