That might not be a bad strategy! Eliminate **all** taxes, and just have 0 tolerance on traffic laws.
Than people could "self select", and pay "taxes" if they couldn't maintain self control, or were drunk, etc.
Meanwhile the 98% of the country outside the biggest cities gets a free ride (they probably don't get that much in services anyway), and can drive like the Autobahn!
