Subject: Proposed new Car Tax Scheme - Register your objection
Sarah Kennedy was on about this proposed car tax scheme on the radio. Apparently there is only one month left to register your objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax.
The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell anybody about it. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000 people had signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are required to stop them introducing
This is legit... from the 10 Downing Street's website.
Once you've given your details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will send you an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.
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 mother 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.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy.

That went down well then. 
SIAL I take it.
Wasn't on the first page so I gave it some airtime, never mind.
Everyone will soon be bleating about it when they are forced to pay for a little black box they didn't want anyway.

I already pay a "pay as you go tax" its called tax on fuel. I guess they need to top up the coffers as they are going to start losing out on taxing smokers soon.
So what if its SIAL if it means a couple more people see it and sign it - so much the better.
Blimey you can't move for snipers around here these days
