Being Taxed per mile

[drifting]

Just had this in an email, it's got to be worth signing so that the government know how we feel.


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 a NIP 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.

I do and always admire people that take on the Government and it will always be to no avail so I'll not bother to sign,they are there to grind the workers into the ground and fu**k the system up. They are and will always be, fat,lazy,good for nothing, potbellied, pigeon toed, greedy bastard sewer rats,that plunder the publics hard earned money.

Well done Drifting.

Some of us may have seen it before, but there will always be people who don't spend a lot of time here and who won't have.
