We don't usually wade in to political arguments, however this one has got our attention and we thought that as it is obviously related to I.T. it was worthy of our blog...

"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 in one month."

The first thing that came to my mind was that surely the tax on fuel is always going to be proportionate to the amount of miles travelled!  Still if you are against this potential tax, sign the petition online on the Prime Minister's website:
