NeilB Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just been listening to the radio and a petition has been set-up to try and stop the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy. This one is slightly different as it is on the PM's website. 59,000 signatures so far. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ari, there's only 14 signatures on the SORS petition as opposed to 60K on the Vehicle Tracking one............ Poor Squirrels! The only way to save the Red is to shoot the grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Sorry. Did you not realise that this was actually the sign-up form for the road pricing trial? You lucky people are all first in the queue to have a little black box fitted complete with credit card swipe machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It quite clearly states that in the title and the details [ QUOTE ] We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy [/ QUOTE ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Err, yes, I did realise that and signed it a month ago when it was originally posted. Just my failed attempt at humour. Although saying that, it is on a government website, so who knows...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrymung Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 All this links in with the new ID card. The black box fitted to cars will have a slot to take your ID card, so not only will they know where your car is going they will have a record of who was driving too!
