Sounds like this is ripe for abuse unless you also put cameras all over the place to match up plates and vehicles to the signal.

Not sure I like the idea of tracking everyone's movement.

Under the latest proposal, drivers would be able to choose from four options: an "all you can drive" flat fee, report their odometer readings to the state, have a GPS locator installed in the car or they can download a smartphone application.

Still sounds like a dumb idea, and of course odometer readings would assume you're driving entirely in-state.

No more so than a gas tax assumes all the gas you buy in state is used in state.

Yes - moreso than that. If you are driving out of state, eventually you'll need to buy gas out of state as well. However, assuming the odometer reading is taken yearly when you buy tabs or something, all your out-of-state driving is factored into the tax no matter what.

Additionally, people from out of state driving in Washington won't pay any tax at all by the odo method, but they would be paying the gas tax.

You're making the PNW look bad to the rest of the forums :mad:
