Thread: Road Pricing

petal · 15-01-2007, 07:51 PM

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."

Why not flood ?

Flood · 16-01-2007, 04:53 PM

Ok. I can't sign it because of the bit about speed. I don't agree with the pricing, I really don't. I think thats way over the top. But if the powers that be are able to know how fast you are going, then it's a good thing, surely?
If the speed thing wasn't there, I would sign it.

Don't let that put you off signing flood........its got to be worth it for the rest

Flood · 16-01-2007, 05:29 PM

You're right. Sometimes I let the one thing blind me, yet the rest is just as important.

Flood · 16-01-2007, 05:31 PM
