The coming Cash Crash



We are told that some people are seriously considering making The United States of America the first cash-less society. Should this happen, and I'm not the one who is saying that it will, would it have any impact at all on drivers.

I think the only thing that we regularly pay for in cash are toll charges, but that is because we choose to do so. We can obtain reader buttons where a computer reads our data as we keep moving, or we can pay by ordinary debit card. We presently consider that too much trouble, but if we had to we could do so.

Every thing else we consume along the way can be paid for by card, so the driving community seems to already be cash-less, and it happened almost by stealth.

On this subject it has been predicted that something major might happen on March 15th, 2016 that may lead to the U.S. doing away with cash.

We will just have to wait and see.
