Title: HELP scrap the planned vehicle tracking & road pricing policy
Post by: The Doc on 03 January 2007, 13:07

For all you drivers out there...

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/

Sign and pass it on. It only takes a minute.

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.

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 a NIP 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.

Signed - I normally never sign online petitions but this issue is one that I take very seriously.  If the government did put this through and maybe 2-3 other equally intrusive policies impacting other areas of life, I would seriously consider moving abroad or at least spending a lot more time abroad.  Legislation like this is turning the UK into a benign police state.
