downimpact Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Saw this on another thread and think it's well worth signing http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/singleroadtax/ I can't drive both of my cars at the same time, think this a real con as my Supra spends most of the year off the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Great idea Doubt it will ever happen as they are only interested in ways to get your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 That toll tax petition failed even though there were like what 1.8 million sigs? Good idea but will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 These petitions are a waste of time. Never do any good It's interesting to read the govts response to some of these petitions. It raises awareness to those in charge of peoples grievences, if enough people sign it, the govt has to rethink e.g. the toll pricing over 2% of the population can be bothered to sign a petition then the government realises it's ideas for policy are vastly unpopular.

Al Massey Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 isnt it the same petition that was set up by one of our own on here? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=123384&highlight=road+tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Good idea for saving us a bit of cash... can't see it working though, especially since the amount you pay is now dependant on C02 emissions.... they won't want you taxing the cheapest of your cars then using that tax disk in the supra.

wHIZz Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Saw this on another thread and think it's well worth signing http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/singleroadtax/ I can't drive both of my cars at the same time, think this a real con as my Supra spends most of the year off the road Thanks for the support - twas me who started it. I understand how people feel negative about these petition things and normally I wouldn't get into something like this - but this one really grinds me down! I actually work for the government (18 years), and although most of these things come to nothing I was hoping to create enough awareness with motorists that at the end of the petition I could send it to the right people (not just the No10 webteam!) - I'm also considering contacting the car mags, local rags etc to drum up support. Thanks again for all support in the Supra group and please forward the URL to your friends and family to sign up etc....... and to other owners clubs if you know anyone! (remember to click the link they send you to confirm the signing!) wHIZz PS: My new commitment! - if anything comes of the publicity I promise to say I started it in the MKIV Supra forums!

Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 theres a floor in this petition. If you have 2 cars and no drive and you park both your cars on the road at same time, you are using the road twice. Nice idea though.

wHIZz Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Fair point. I know that this won't benefit everyone but I just thought it might be a start to a fairer system. Would appreciate the support all the same. wHIZz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 theres a floor in this petition.

[michael]flaw, not floor[/michael] Damn good idea, doubt it will work due to earning less money for the government. Signed it though.

Dazzi Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 that reminds me about bikes, didn't they say a while back that taxing cyclists will come into force soon?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
