I don't know if any of you know this, I only found out yesterday but read on:
Hi, The following is for your information, and worth considering..............
UK ROADTAX
Dear all,
Have done this, it's very easy. You have nothing to lose by trying - if you
don't want Tony & Gordon to have all our money because we drive a car or
bike, then please at least sign up
THIS IS REAL AND IT IS A PROPER GOVERNMENT SITE!!!
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 Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in
one month. (Wished they asked me, my bill just for commuting to and from
work would be in excess of £1000 per 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 and additional fine
with your monthly bill.
If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of the car
driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website
petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/
Please pass this on to anyone who owns a car/motorcycle. It affects them.
* Its not limited to speeding. They also know where parking restrictions etc.
are located. And you!
(Additional - I have just been on the No10 site and there is LESS than 100k
signed up to it. There are over 30million vehicles and drivers in this
country. Just to register 1% of those against this proposal there needs to
be 300k signed up! and the closing date is 20/02/07. Did you know about
this? I didn't.)
Sorry, can't do clicky not got there yet.
