Defer the bill until the first MOT?How do you measure cars in their first 3 years, when no MOT is required?
And also make it compulsory to declare the mileage when a car is sold (and have it agreed by the buyer), so you can't duck out of your bill by selling it on just before the MOT.
These are simple procedural rules that would be easy to implement. The world is too obsessed with high tech solutions to simple problems.
As for the comment that odometers are easy to manipulate: actually they're not. The days when you could spin them round with a drill or use a toothpick to move the dials are long gone. When was the last time you daw a car without an electronic odometer?
The only reason to use GPS technology would be to vary the price based on location and time, as a possible way to tackle congestion. But that might be too much effort to be worthwhile.
