THIS IS REAL.
UK ROAD TAX
Dear all,
I have done this, it's very quick and easy. There is nothing to lose by
trying - if we're to stop the Government taking our money just 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
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 didn't.)
