Petition against 'Pay as you go' road tax
08 Feb 2007
There are only a few days left to register your objection to the 'Pay as
you
go' road tax - which closes to petitions on the 20th February
2007.
The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell
anybody
about 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.
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 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 care about our freedom and
stopping 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.
