I don't know if anyone has said this, as I haven't read all the thread. But, these boxes, once in our cars can, and probably will be used to:

- Track our movements
- Use for insurance purposes (was the driver exceeding the speed limit at the time etc)
- Use for speeding fines (GPS data, going to fast for road, bang, speed ticket)
- Use for pay per mile road tax

This should not happen under any circumstances and we would be complete fools as a nation if we let it.

Please read the following and feel free to copy and send it to as many people as possible. I am not the originator of the message, just someone who is concerned and thinks everyone should be aware of it. So I'm passing it on in the hope that lot's of people will see it, and act on it.

NEW ROAD TAX

CALLING ALL BRITISH PEOPLE AND EX-PATS…

If you drive a car, please read –

Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2. 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. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000 people had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the government to at least take any notice.

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 email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed the petition.

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 are concerned about this Orwellian plan and want to stop 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. Sign up if you value your freedom and democratic rights.

This is personal for public/motorists as it affects them in pocket & their driving habits.

Quite agree Peter, just pointing out that the Government doesn't take the blind bit of notice of what you or anyone else thinks.

Coverage on GMT TV, 6PM News, Mail on Sunday, etc etc. Maybe Tom188 should be a little more tolerant of new posters, and spend less time fulfilling the the role of nothing else to do Sheriff. How many people are put off posting on this type of forum, because they know some self appointed nobody, is about to jump down their throat because the manner of their post is not to the liking of someone who at the end of the day, has no more right to be their than them.
I accept your apology in advance.
