Scrap the idea of a driving charge (Pay as you go) per mile!

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to scrap the idea of a pay as you go mile charge. This would destroy the automotive industry, destroy family means of travel. The taxation whole should not be filled by motorists on top of premiums such as road tax, car insurance, MOT..
This is clearly a attack on motorists. This move would be seen a discriminatory behaviour as it would only the rich would be able to afford this. This would ruin families transportation methods, affect the automotive industry and businesses. These plans need to be brought to a stop! Essential workers who have been working through the pandemic already have to pick up the furlough tax costs.
