stoaty 171 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 UK ROAD TAX 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. 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 http://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. Sign up now!)
