MK2Ed Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Apparently there is only one month left to register your objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax.The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. Therefore at the time of the comments only 250,000 people have signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are required to stop them introducing it.Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition. The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you Having to purchase a tracking device for your car and 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 mother 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 in time you can probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your monthly bill. To help stop the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website (link below) and pass this on to as many people as possible. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/

Capripete Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 I very much doubt it matters how many people sign it, the scummy government will get it through regardless if it makes em more money!
