[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 347498, member: 175089"] Interesting. No links from the gov. petition to any useful info. That's why petitions in the wrong hands suck. I watched a very good interview recently where the case for abandoning various car taxes in favour of a simple SatNav style payment aggregator was put forward. The device would track a car no more than a SatNav does now (sic). So, just like the petitions creator summises - if you drive a lot [read: pollute a lot] you pay a lot - or, try and go greener. While the principle sounds cool to me, one I don't drive, and two the government will probably cop-out on all the practical bits and **** it up generally. Senario: unlike some countries that quite happily get on with techno solutions like this, the UK will adopt its "if it ain't broke" attitute and road conjestion/quality will get worse and taxes will increase (irrelevant of one's general wealth). With nearly 1.5 e-signatures - its certainly looking like nothing is broke..... . [/QUOTE]
