British Road Tax

[Foggy]

Sign and pass it on. It only takes a minute.

 

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.

hmmmm

The problem is that something has to be done about greenhouse gases and congestion.

While not being able to speed might be a pain, perhaps the motorway speed limits will be raised when congestion is reduced.  Another advantage should be a reduction in car crime and uninsured drivers.

we could take every car of the road in britain and it wouldnt make a blind bit of difference..the reason why is the chinese explosion in car owners...its exponential in its increase and is seen as the must have...

i would dump the car tommorrow if we had a viable alternative that worked and was safe..we dont

also is car tax not meant to be for the upkeep of the roads so i presume this will be dispensed with...again doubt it

also it seems that the main way to ease congestion is to tax the car and petrol...that would seem to lead to ensuring that wealth determines who drives as opposed to need ...so i dont fancy the methodology

my solution would be to have state owned or non  profit public transport...and not run by quangos either...if that could be made safe , efficient and economically viable i`d go for it...
instead we have 8 different bus companies running the same routes in competition which is neither economic, enviromentally firendly or safe.
we have train track fragmented throughout regions,owned by one company and travelled on by another company who pay royally for it and therefore whos main interest is in charging for it.
no one is interested in the enviroment just a business model of competition and market forces for transport..whch doesnt work
if it keeps up we`ll be sold our own pavement and charged for wearing shoes on it...

right rant over...aahh thats better

the average man just can't take another £100 a month out of his pocket. If your financially well off then it's great but you pay so much tax nowadays it's to much.

A young male 18-30 now pays out 50p of every pound he earns in taxes.

It will not lower congestion, it will take away more of your civil liberty and you will pay 10 times what you do now in terms of tax on your car.
