Road pricing study
Road pricing for motorists to replace road tax. On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times and they will also know how fast you have been going!
|
A road pricing petition was set up regarding the government's proposal to introduce road pricing which will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it.

| 30-9-2007 | Road pricing is being brought in to fund Galileo, the European Satellite network. The government have already agreed to do it so its going to happen. | Powervator |
| 27-5-2007 | I'd just like to add that alot of people are missing the point of road pricing. The need to cut congestion is not the real issue, or at least the reason why the government wants to introduce it.
The government is pushing the car industry and its customers (us) hard in the direction of low em...more | voter |

| 22-2-2007 | Great, no yearly road tax, I can pay as I go, how thoughtful of the Government to take away this once a year payment and allow me to pay as I go along (probably several times as much though) but still very thoughtful, it will certainly bring in more funds to the Treasury which shall allow teh Chance...more | malc ex - optomist |

| 21-2-2007 | If we look at this issue on a broader spectrum we can only arrive at one conclusion.
WE LIVE IN A COVERT DICTATORSHIP.
Our leader and his associated cronies would have us believe that we live in a democracy but this is only true every four years or so. At that time we get to choose who we want to ...more | Had Enough |

I bought it because of all the above benefits, however I have to drive it 14 miles per day to get to work. So simple maths 14 x 5 x 52 = 3640 miles per year for work purpose.
