Pay-Per-Mile Insurance Rate Unfair to Drivers

I read the article regarding pay-by-mile car insurance ("Pay-by- mile car insurance gets hearing," April 9.) It would affect everyone who is in business for themselves, as well as people who have to drive long distances to work.

Today, people need their vehicles to go places. Freedom is a basic (law) or right to all who go anywhere in the U.S. Pay-by-mile auto insurance is unfair to many, and it could hurt our economy. This pay as you go is not the way to encourage people to drive less. Public transportation should be encouraged in another way.
