| Message | I hope it's OK to put this on here... it could affect all of us if it goes ahead. The link to the 10 Downing St website is genuine.
Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on the radio, apparently there are only 10 days left to register your objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax. The petition is on the 10 Downing St website. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000 people had signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are required to stop them introducing it. Once you've given your details they will send you an e:mail with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.
Democracy in action? 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 then you pay a monthly fee guaged by miles you travel...eek!!! 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. Please sign the petition on No 10's new website and pass this on to as many people as possible. |
