I see you have to give your name, address etc.

Is this a govt. way of keeping tabs of those that they want to charge more for daring to oppose TB & co

They already know where all law abiding (for the most part) people live.

If this goes through, they will also know where you are when your driving.

That's the solution! Tax us more - BRILLIANT!!!

My much simpler solution would be to have businesses begining with an 'A' starting work at 0830 and business begining with a 'B' starting work at 0900 etc. Trucks should have their road tax REDUCED for a nightime only operators licence too.

Another idea is to [for e.g] or reduce the train fare from London Cardiff down from the current £130. Local rag showed it was MILES cheaper for a family of four to book a V12 SEL limo to go to London than to go by train. ABSURD.

Start at the start you overtaxers!!!

this report is a **** take to anyone with a braincell

the man in charge of it was ex BA chief
he told the labour ******** what they wanted( chargeing will solve the congestion) and heathrow needs a 3rd runway

they can't be serious, to think theres no nudge-nudge, wink-wink stuff going on here
just look at it
road charges are at least 10years away, even with this corruption,
and lefty kens abortion doesn't pay for itself, he put £50mil in last year on the QT, to balance the books, and then he gets a taxi from blackpool to london

Next year the great news will be announced that they have progressed so much better than expected that it will be only 18 months.

Wait and see....

hey unclebuck calm it a bit

you are saying we some more spin here then
read all i say, the 3rd runway has a sideshow here

i know car blackboxes have been tested in leeds, the idiots had them fitted being convinced it was for safety reasons, ie, speed on every road they travel , and they all report back how perfect it is
no need for speed camera's
for road tolls tobe in place , every car will have sat tracking blackbox fitted, and it will be part of the MOT, like tacho's on HGV's, or the other route could be the metal strip we now have in our tax discs

It'll probably start with mass rises in car tax. However, it'll be cheaper to have a black box fitted that works out your driving and SAVES you money, YES, SAVES you money. Loads of people will sign up and have the boxes fitted to save money, and then once everyone is all onboard and black boxed up then the charges ramp up.

And you think people won't fall for it? Think again. They'll 'sell' the ID card thing the same way, i.e. loads of benefits of having one then once all onboard etc. They'll engineer the whole thing to ease people into it rather than a sudden 'law' that we all have to have one etc. Same end goal, just a more 'palatable' way of getting everyone on board.

Will the public on the whole fall for it? Course they will. Including many here saying it's an abomination that this will ever come to fruition. Similar idea with supermarket clubcards, do you really think the benefits of the cars are for YOUR benefit? Of course not, it to allow the supermarkets to monitor your behaviour so they can sell more to you in future. With a supermarket there's nothing that sinister about it, however a goverment doing the same thing?????
