Vehicle choice
Today we briefly discussed penalties for driving polluting vehicles. It has occured to me that most of these privately owned vehicles are owned by two types of citizens; A) Poor individuals that cannot upgrade to a 'friendlier' vehicle, and B) Gluttonous American Trash that require gluttonous american vehicles to pull their trailers, boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, four wheelers, etc... Even though the latter group only utilizes this additional horsepower a small fraction of the time, they still prefer to to drive their monsters to Wal-Mart or soccer practice the remainder of the time. Which leads me to the question of necessity...How do we ticket gluttons without ticketing persons that require horsepower much more of the time (Construction workers and agricultural workers)? Hey, they need their trucks... banker Bob only needs a status symbol to pull his toys with.

I'm surprised to hear you say that, Jared. You don't strike me as the type to fall for urban myths, and any claims that SUV's are "safer" than sedans are just that: Myths, probably perpetuated by SUV manufacturers.
According to this site, quoting a report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, In examining deaths per million passengers, SUVs had nearly the same death rates in accidents as small cars, but substantially more fatalities than mid-sized or large cars. When it comes to safety, I'm more likely to survive in a mid-size car than people are in an SUV.
Millennium Plus operates using an innovative hybrid of technologies, including GPS satellites and patented microburst cell technology. Each time you communicate with the transceiver in the vehicle, there is a two way flow of information.
* When accessing Millennium Plus via the Internet using any standard browser, you send out a signal. That signal then travels to the cell phone tower nearest your current location.
* Microburst technology operates on existing cellular networks to send and receive data packets, tapping into unused channels on the back side of standard cell frequencies.
* The GPS satellites then locate and communicate with the Millennium Plus transceiver on board your vehicle, which exchanges information on location and speed, as well as executing any commands you've sent.
* The cell towers then relay the signal back to you via the exact means by which it was sent.
