I have just recieved this, I didn't have a clue aobut this petition. Sneaky goverment!
If you drive a car, please read -
Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2.
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 and 750,000 signatures are required for the
goverment to at least take any notice.
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.
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 are concerned about this Orwellian plan and want to stop 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.
Sign up if you value your freedom and democratic rights -
