Nope, what they have in mind is fitting a "black box" to every car, tracking when and where it goes and charging per mile, at varying rates (depending on type of road/time of day etc...) and billing you.

Leaving aside the whole Big Brother aspect of having all your movements tracked, if they bring that in at those sort of prices, there'll be plenty of people that wouldn't be able to afford to go to work, even if they wanted to (me included). -- Sean Black |

Matthew brought next idea :
Here we go again another newbie starts a thread. Someone says keep your cats in or out and this BS debate of inside or out starts again. And all of you jump on the band wagon it is getting pretty pathetic that you all do this. And now with the cross posting it gets even worse. Would you all get over it People over seas have a different view point you will never change it. People here have a different view point you will never change it. You can't debate or even discuss it rational as past threads and this one have proven time and time again. You all ended up acting like how do the British say it a bunch of *******. Don't get me wrong here mate but the post was about a guy wasting his time with a petition that cats should be made to wear bells. If people want to rack on about cats being kept in or out that is not of consequence to me and is not done on my account. :-) -- Count Baldoni |

Why mess with a system as good as this? Here in the US, people are still driving their huge SUV's around, but then gasoline is still very cheap. It was 20 cents a gallon back in 1950, and now, some 50 years later, when it should be over $5.00 a gallon, it is still only $3.00 a gallon....So, people are complaining about nothing........ |
