More tax for the motorists
missroadrage:
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 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 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.

I'm sorry, but I think this is going a bit too far now.
How much longer are we going to put up with this? Will our European cousins be getting the same thing? I can just see the French, Spanish and Italians sitting back and saying OK.
I bet all the Government vehicles will be exempt.
Who remembers the effect of the Fuel Protests?
