Future possible savings - government's proposal to introduce road pricing

I thought I'd post this as the site gets so many raving reviews and visitors, Lets have Tony Blair put under some pressure to re think this one.

the government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you will have to purchase a tracking device for your car and pay 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. always a popular subject ! somebody will know where you are at all times. they will also know how fast you have been driving .....

if you drive a car or motorcycle and want to have your say, please sign the petition on No.10's new website -
