Subject: Petition about new travel car tax[Scanned]
Sarah 'witter witter witter' 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... 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 e:mail 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.
