Since the OP has posted this exact same post on a number of threads I have reported it as Spam.

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.

OMG it's not April 1st yet is it?! :eek:

good! biatches should stay of the !!!!!!! roads anyway and let their fat lazy bone idle kids walk.

Ehhhh Nelly, I am laughing my back off here with this post, but I think it was rather accurate.

I had to wonder myself how a non working mother can afford to run children to school - perhaps we should get a petition away for kids to start walking to school again (Joke, joke, before all the car driving parents berate me - about the petition, not the kids walking to school that is!). Mind you if this tracker did eventually come into play it might just make the parents who unnecessarily drive under a mile or so to take their kids to school may stop and think about it.

Good idea. Has anyone else noticed that the roads are much less congested during school holidays? Its not the commuters that are to blame, its the parents and teachers!

If they do start charging they should charge more when it rains as well cause rush hour on a rain day gridlocks anywhere near a school cause even those that dont get lifts normally, get them when it rains.

This morning on GMTV they were saying about how expensive the new law for car seats was. Somebody text / mailed in to say that it was too expensive for to afford them on benefits sell your car then or get a job.

Whatever happens those who use cars most and use bigger cars most should pay most tax ( with a few exceptions such as health visitors etc.,) The modern motor car is a curse to children, is horribly dangerous, is a powerful status symbol, is anti-social and anti-community ; in my middle class residential Herts area watch the 4 X 4s driven by housewives queue in the morning & afternoon collecting little and big kids.

Also watch the fast fat commuters speeding to our local motorways, read about the dead teenagers after the boy racing on dual carriageways.

Yes I have a medium sized MPV but I walk to the local shop and I believe that the time has come for change, not to be anti-reform. Do your best Tony before the other lot get in and we go back to low public spending, removal of speed cameras, selfishness and become completely below the happy continent on all possible indicators but most especially quality of life.

I wouldn`t call most modern cars a "status symbol" a necessity is more of a phrase I would use. Yes they are dangerous but not if you or the general public used common sense and concentration.My kids are walked to school every morning ,There are no busses that can get me to work for the 6am start I have,would it be fair for me to pay road pricing in my 1.1l car?Even though all my work travel(a 10 mile round trip) is out of "rush hour" times.I think this is just an excuse by this greedy,money grabbing sleazy government to get us honest hard working people to line their already bulging pockets.....

Well we shouldn't let children drive them - it's just irresponsible
