It is being reported today that the Scottish Government are considering taxing drivers for every mile they travel - including driving on their own property such as driveways and private land!
Apparently they are going to use satellite tracking to see where we all get to and bill us for the privilege.
Here we go again! The driver is the easiest target in the world for old Mr Taxman but have they honestly considered how difficult this will be to police? Who is going to check that all the cars being driven actually have the satellite gizmos and what do foriegn visitors (including presumably our neighbours, the English) who don't have the gizmos fitted to their cars. How are we going to be billed? How do you ensure that the current keeper is recorded as such with the authorities and what if your car is nicked and driven for miles without your knowledge or permission........And that's all before the civil libertarians start their arguments.
SORRY HOLYROOD THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THESE PLANS AGAIN.....THEN BIN THEM!
