Is it easier to implement? Maybe, but not really.
An alternative and would just be an annual inspection. Some states already require this, many just emissions. Just have it as a blanket annual safety inspection requirement for all vehicles, including emissions for the necessary vehicles.
I don’t know why you’re being down voted, but yes the mileage every year is recorded and taxed. In my state if you drive less than 10000 miles a year you get a discount on your inspection.
It's because some people despise the idea of inspections.
Because ensuring the basic safety of a 2-3 ton hunk of metal flying down the road at speeds up to 80mph is apparently government overreach. Or because it's an inconvenience to have to take it in once a year. Or whatever other bullshit reason they try to justify in their heads that basic safety inspections are a waste of time and resources. You know, shitty people.
