Pay as you go road tax petition soon to close.

[Alien_Balliztix]

With the distance some of you guys drive/travel to games/tournaments/training. This may be of interest to you.

You may have heard about the new proposed car tax scheme on the radio
or TV , apparently there is only one month left to register your
objection to the 'Pay as you go' road tax.

The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell
anybody about it.

Only 650,000 people had signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are
required to stop them introducing it.

You go to the 10 Downing Street's website. Once you've given your
details (you don't have to give your full address, just house number
and postcode will do), they will send you an e-mail with a link in it.
Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition. Democracy in action?

Here is the link: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax

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 mother 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, please sign the petition on No 10's new
website and pass this on to as many people as possible.

Apparently it has actually been available to sign for quite a while. Only recently have people realised exactly where the actual petition was. As it was kind of tactically hidden.

I only recieved the note you see above with a few personal notes to myself.
