goverment proposal

Hi everyone,i have been sent this...
The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean having to purchase a tracking device for your car and then paying a monthly bill to use it.

The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver.

A non working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month.

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect a NIP with your monthly bill.


If you care about stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website:

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/

Please pass this on to anyone who owns a car/motorcycle. It affects them.

i have signed maybe you might want to

oh... I was hoping they were going to tax land drains. That would not be fair on the British Farmer.

When I signed this yesterday there were 86,000 sigs. It just keeps getting bigger!

And in so doing we give B Liar a database of people who oppose him and his. If I were paranoid..... I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
