Don't usually go in for this sought of thing but if you are against the ever increasing tide of big brother read below:::



If you drive a car, Read this......



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 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.

Sign up if you are in agreement with the petition.

Repost, but a worthy cause.

As to whether it will actually make a blind bit of difference, who knows lol
