The government's proposal ( Commons December the 29th 2006) 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 devices 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.

No link or am I blind?
That sounds a silly idea. My car isn't amazingly economical but I filled it up with about £35 of petrol before xmas and it's still half full! I do live very close to work but I have been out and about with it over xmas. I'd be well out of pocket there!
it was there when i edited it - just not displaying! strange
It's there now
