Unhappy Road Tax

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

I heard somewhere that most cars manufactured after 2001 have a loom ready to accept the trcking system ....... Whether it's a load of Bouleship, I don't know, but our government does take a stealthy way around these kinds of things.

If they don't get you this way, they will use another way


Best go back to a horse and cart I think
