Them courts gonna be busy dealing with 40M motorists. There are those who would start these things off but what use is that if you don't get the support and and up being procecuted as a voice in the wilderness. Look at the time the lorry drivers caused a go slow on the motorway over fuel duty. We would have all benefited,but all it did was enrage car drivers cos it made them 10 mins late.We are not known as Rip Off Britain for nothing.

Always joked that if I won the Lottery, I would set up a Motorists Party - no politics of course! Still waiting for the win!

That's been my point all along,and why the cash cow motorist is held in contempt.Direct action ie withholding payment in sufficient numbers for excessive charging and poor services would surely get their attention.Petitions? What a waste of time.Yet another maximum council tax rise in this area, but hardly a grass verge being cut,they are 3-4 feet high in places and apart from being a danger as you can't see what is coming they look unsightly.The roads more resembling a lunar surface than a bowling green but yet another hike in road fund duty in April.Motorists complaining about the price at the pumps,with the government in agreement blaming garages for profiteering,when they themselves are the real villain's with their tax grab.Yes I can see why we are not taken seriously......

Fuel costs? Think deeper, and ever-so slightly critical, as to eventual costs for the masses and the consequential limitation of independent mobility for the great unwashed.
The unspoken threats of a forced move to EV’s by a gradual reduction and limitation of liquid fuel are a signal of what is to come. Couple that with the option, nay the need, for domestic and/or garage re-charging. This wonderful idea hasn’t yet been rumbled. To pay for it, and already taken care of, a card will be essential. In advance. Electricity charging, as is the case now, will be provided by state controlled generation via domestic metering (read smart meters and the coercive pressure to convert to them). Has there ever, ever, been any public consultation for this? Oh, of course, it’s ‘market-led’. Yeah, right! More sceptic than septic.
