paul, the vehicle tracking /charging petition hits 1 million some time today, could you issue a pr asking what kind of a response is the government going to e-mail to 1 million voters and at the bottom give your pettion (which has just burst into the top 10 motoring ones in a day) a big plug...

Strangely the same number as Talk Radio's frequency...

I signed it of course... If almost 1 million people say they don't want the new tracking system which doesn't even exist yet I wonder how many will say they want rid of the bloody cameras?

Somehow it needs publicity in national newspapers.

Isn't the inheritance tax one, which is currently second in the list, being backed by the Daily Express?

Sorry to be daft but I haven't seen any news reports on this. Do you know if there are any yet?

I haven't seen any either, but I did PR it. See: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SafeSpeedPR/message/301

I'm pretty sure I posted it here too... Yeah. Here: http://www.safespeed.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12277

PR446: Scrap Speed Cameras petition is rising star

Since its launch less than two days ago the Safe Speed official petition to
scrap speed cameras has gathered over 2,000 signatures to become a 'rising
star' on the Downing Street web site.

It's already ranked 50 out of 2,869 Downing Street petitions, having overtaken

See: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/scrapcam

Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign
(www.safespeed.org.uk) said: "Drivers know that speed cameras are the wrong
policy and don't make the roads safer. If fact we even know that speed cameras
make us into worse drivers. Why the DfT doesn't know this is anyone's guess,
but this is our chance to tell them."

"We earned ourselves he safest roads in the world long before we had speed
cameras. Since cameras, we're falling back fast. We have to get back to the
policies that gave us the safest roads in the world in the first place;
policies that value skills and attitudes."

"I urge every driver to sign the petition. We have to force Department for
Transport to treat us with respect and value our skills."
