more tax on cars please sign the petition

[lhd1600e]

If you drive a car, please read - Sarah Kennedy was talking about this

proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2. 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 Sarah's comments only 250,000 people

had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the goverment to at

least take any notice.

 

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.

 

If you are concerned about this Orwellian plan and want to 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.

Sign up if you value your freedom and democratic rights -

Nobody I know that has signed that has EVER got an confirmation e-mail. It's a government petition program so they probably only send out 5% confirmations.
