PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 18, 2011 - The Drivers' Protest Union, a group set up to encourage UK drivers to unite for a fairer deal, has taken up the Government challenge- to obtain 100,000 signatories to guarantee a parliamentary debate on any issue- as a good way to encourage drivers to participate in a large scale demonstration of both their dissatisfaction and their unity.
The group believes that despite David Cameron's electioneering promise to 'End the war on the motorist' the 'war' has hotted up. There has been no let up in taxes,(fuel has been steadily rising), parking prosecutions have multiplied, Cameron is supporting a Bill to increase driver imprisonment when all other sentencing is 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 being relaxed and his government now intend to make careless driving a fixed penalty offence because, according to Mike Penning, 'not enough drivers are being prosecuted for it'.
Keith Peat, the group's founder explains: 'Whilst we support the Fair Fuel E-petition, it is only on one single issue. I really cannot believe that it is beyond the wit of MPs and politicians to be discussing the economic effects of fuel taxes on the community unless they have a petition to tell them to do so. So what is the point of such a petition? In any case we have been here before and one thing is for sure; fuel will continue to go up in price since nothing ever comes down.' The D.P.U. sees the fuel campaign as a automobile news diversion from other serious driver issues like fraudule 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible nt & dangerous road safety, prosecutions, delay, poor speed limiting policy and all driver taxes.
'There is not much point in divisive single issue driver petitions.' Say D.P.U.
The group believes that It is far better to rally drivers to confront government with one, all issue, catch-all petition which includes all forms of taxation including fuel. They argue that, whereas the Government may not be able to do much for the driver in respect of taxation, there is much it can do to relieve the driver in other areas and save billions of pounds for the economy at the same time.
'If we can get drivers to grasp this opportunity to show how they feel with a simple pet ni ssan GTR specification ition, it will kick start the recognition that British drivers deserve.' Say D.P.U.
