Hi Everyone,
For all of you out there enjoying the freedom to drive where the hell you like in the UK take note of the following:
"Subject: TRAVEL TAX - GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS
Not Funny - a chance for you to have a say.
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 her 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
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."
