ROAD TAX PETITION

[doss]

UK ROAD TAX

Dear all, Have done this, it's very easy. We have nothing to lose by trying
- if you don't want Tony & Gordon to have all our money because we drive a
car or bike, then please at least sign up THIS IS REAL AND IT IS A PROPER
GOVERNMENT SITE!!! 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 Mum 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* you can expect and additional fine
with your monthly bill. If you care about our freedoms and stopping the
constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new
website HYPERLINK "http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/"
\nhttp://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ Please pass this on to anyone who
owns a car/motorcycle. It affects them. * Its not limited to speeding. They
also know where parking restrictions etc are located. And you! (Additional -
I have just been on the No10 site and there is LESS than 500k signed up to
it. There are over 30million vehicles and drivers in this country. Just to
register 3% of those against this proposal there needs to be 900k signed up!
and the closing date is 20/02/07. Did you know about this? I did'nt.)
