Sorry but this is just a sop to the masses from Mr Bliars spin doctor friends. There are now so many petitions (as one might expect) that no one least of all our useless b***** government is gonna take the slightest bit of notice of any of them. A total waste of time adding to them BUT if you do don't complain when they come to get you early one morning and make you disappear 'cause they know who you are :lol::good:

R4 had some commentary on this, the transport minister has said they will listen to alternatives and made mention of the petition, however he was quick to say that something has to be done, if not this.

 

Either way whatever they do it will be cost-based because they want a cut :D

 

In Italy (and other places) they have registration plates which indicate one day of the week on which the car can't be used, if caught driving on that day you get fined, might be an alternative?

It is all a load of absolute ******** in my opinion.

 

They want to penalise the drivers of gas guzzlers, they want to cut the miles people drive and reward people who have efficient cars.

 

All this is done already through the duty on fuel and road tax all this is is another stealth tax and lets them monitor our movements. The quicker this government is out of power the better.

I happen to find it relaxing and informative. I don't bother with the archers, thought for the day or anything else to do with religion, but it does calm me down on my drive to and from work on some of the worst roads there are (A12/A13/A406/M11/M25)

 

Anyway I am getting older, I must be I am driving a diesil :rolleyes:
