I haven't seen this on the forum and have been really surprised. I'm sure you all know about the petition.
If not, the government are planning to introduce pay as you go motoring. Whereby you have to buy a tracker, fit to your vehicle and then pay a monthly bill for however many miles you do. Oh and by the way, it will also know how fast you have been travelling every minute of every day too and speeding fines will just drop through your door.
The petition to stop this from happening can be accessed by clicking on the link below. However, the deadline for signing this is 20th February, so please get cracking and add your name to the list!

Hey there ohnoesaz,
you're dead right on this one mate. I just hope that we've caught it in time and that it gets blocked. So far there are over 1.5 million signatures, so we live in hope.

That would never happen here in the US since it would be some kind of violation of our rights. However, most already have hand held tracking devices(e.g. Cellphones). As for this country obsessing over the dead moron and the bald moron, IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF. I want to watch ESPN only to get away from all the bull and the National Inquirer type of crap, but they still manage to talk about this crap on the sports networks.
