Road Tax Petition

[Warren]

Not sure if anyone has posted this and I am having a bit of trouble getting used to the new web forum interface so apologies in advance if this has been done to death. I got it via email but went to the Gov website and found it through that.

>>The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you

>>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

>>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
