A flat fee would penalize drivers of infrequently-driven small vehicles.

This is one of the reasons that causes me to pause whenever I've considered purchasing one. My state also has a yearly fee.

I work from home and don't drive to justify these fees so I just keep my long ago paid off vehicle well maintained for a fraction of the cost of a car payment.
