Morris Minor Owners Club

I was forwarded this today (see below) - it purports to be genuine - has anyone else come across it?

Im uneasy about adding my details to these things in case they are not what they seem...

If anyone can confirm it is genuine then it s something we might all wish to sign.

Anyone know? Cheers, Mike.



Dear all,

Have done this, it's very easy. We have nothing to lose by trying - if you
don't want Tony & Gordon to have all our money because we drive a car or bike, then please at least sign up

THIS IS REAL AND IT IS A PROPER GOVERNMENT SITE!!!

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 Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 inone month. (Wished they asked me, my bill just for commuting to and from work would be in excess of £1000 per 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* you can expect and additional fine
with your monthly bill.

If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/



Please pass this on to anyone who owns a car/motorcycle. It affects them.

* Its not limited to speeding. They also know where parking restrictions etc are located. And you!

(Additional - I have just been on the No10 site and there is LESS than 100k signed up to it. There are over 30million vehicles and drivers in this
country. Just to register 1% of those against this proposal there needs to
be 300k signed up! and the closing date is 20/02/07 . Did you know about
this? I did't.)

Well, it's 300k and one now. And far be it from me to say that it should be 'fewer', not 'less'

I signed it last week.

I signed it.

Thanks for that folks - Ive now added my name too.
Regards, Mike.

Sadly, its genuine, we have to stop the government from bringing this nanny state nonsense in. Do they think 1984 is supposed to be made true??

I signed it and my name was off the top of the list before 15 mins were out, which is a good sign

i signed that a couple of months ago,and know plenty of other people who did

i dont think just anybody is allowed to register a .gov.uk site, if you look at the web address you can see it in there.

I signed it.

i signed it

I've just signed it, lets hope they take notice of the people after all it's the people who voted them in power.

I keep trying to sign the blasted thing only to not receive any emails from them - not in my spam filter, either!:(
