Default government road use tax system petition

sorry if re post: mods delete if necessary.

Road Pricing Petition......

The government 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 an NIP with your monthly bill.

If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of the Car/Van/Bike User, please sign the petition on "No 10's new website":

There is nothing we can do, we all know we will moan but we also know eventually we will end up paying for fuel, road tax and black box style schemes. Not too mention a box in car for insurance too, then one day it will be able to tell our speed (as it can already( then just fine us on the spot.

Don't the USA insurance companies already have cameras in customers cars to view crashes? 1984 Mr orwell.

Bottom line is only the Muslims or non English/British (those not born here with both parents british) will bother to protest heavilly and we will get burned again.

I'd love to see what happens when people who commute can not get to work and then hit the dole. Then they preasure you to get a local shitty job

So what you going to do about it? It's not like we live in a democracy or anything.
