Well would you believe it? Some
bright spark in the MCM (Ministry of Crucifying Motorists) has come up with a
scheme to relieve us all of even more cash. They want to fit all cars with a
device which will be tracked by satellites and tell Big Brother where you are
and where you have been. Then you will get a bill for using the roads - yes the
ones you have been paying for all these years with your road and fuel taxes. They
will even know when you have been exceeding the speed limit and fine you
accordingly! Now some drivers have their cars trailered everywhere, so what
happens when the trailer driver goes too fast - do you both get a ticket? How
many civil servants will it take to run such a system?
Whatever next? I am surprised that they do not insist on a ‘road use
monitor’ travelling in every car (or perhaps walking in front with a red
flag!). That would send the unemployment figures plummeting - and naturally
they will all want a pension. The next step of course is to pass judgement on
your driving skills, measuring the average distance from the car in front and
your cornering technique etc. “Did not signal early enough - £5 fine”. Oh yes, make no mistake, this is all about
money.
Well, bring it all on. The ‘electrical ambiance’ in and around my
75-year-old machinery should soon wreck any fancy electronic gadget they try to
impose on me!
Poop. Poop.
