Taxing drivers by the mile

[LBrown59]

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( There are insurance implications as there is a concept that your car insurance would be linked to the actual miles you drive. Currently, you are charged based on your age, vehicle, driving history, distance to work, etc. This would add another rating factor. For some it will cost them more annually, others less, based on the miles driven (which is another way of saying based on the exposure to the company). If I'm not mistaken, at least one major auto carrier has a pilot program set up in one state to determine feasibility. )</font>

And the focus is still in the wrong area the car and not the driver.

The car is one risk factor, not the only risk factor.

The "black box" or air bag deployment sensor is already being used in court cases in Canada. Would seem to me that it will likely be a common occurance shortly.
