road pricing we need to do a bit if we are not happy

[richards 7]

I have just read this......

The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a
tracking device for your car and pay 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, 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.
