The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to
purchase a tracking device for your car and pay 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 in one
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 an NIP with
your monthly bill.
