Sorry if this has done the rounds already, but I received this email and thought I'd share it with you so you can get your name down

Subject: Car Tax

Ladies & Gentlemen

Sarah Kennedy was on about this proposed car tax scheme on the radio.
Apparently there are only a few days 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 really publicise it.
Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 600,000 people had signed it
so far and 750,000 signatures are required to stop them introducing it.

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.

isnt there talk of this replacing road tax and fuel duty ????????

if so,bring it on

rural useage all the way for me commuting at 4am in the morning,thus IIRC will cost me a damm sight less then 65 odd pence per litre of duty on petrol

But my opinion is all about it being "better" for myself,obviously it will affect others badly

I fully support adding car tax to petrol and/or pay as I go ......

I will be hugely better off

Nail those who use the roads the most ... it's only fair!

how would it make you better off if they charged per mile as well as leaving the fuel duty in place.

Me no understand

Exactly, the fuel duty won't be reduced until ALL vehicles are PAYG, since otherwise the ones still outside the scheme get the benefit.

And of course it won't be reduced then either...
