I received the following content in an email today. Here it is:

"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 a NIP with your monthly bill.

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

This measure will also eliminate the long and trusted call over the radio in the hackney, "Car 2, where are you now"?." Pick up at etc.."

The only solution to this is for you all to drive in reverse. Head onto the M25 arseways and plough on. If the tax is based on the distance you travelled, then by driving backwards you will generate a monthly income, which I think will be tax free as if you drive foward you will pay from you're net income.

That rural florist will make more in a month from driving backwards than they will selling flowers.

If you are sceptical about the above the next time you are out and trying to get into the nightclub, walk in backwards and I'll guarantee you'll not be stopped.
