One of our customers (thanks Alan from Morayshire!) brought this petition to our attention:

...There is only one month to go to register your opposition to the 'pay as you go' road tax scheme the government is intending to introduce.

">>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"
