Fuel

As the fuel prices in this country continue to climb rumours are starting to fly around that another fuel protest is immenent. Speaking with my work colleagues it seems there are mixed feelings about this, with quite a few not wanting this to happen because they are too dependant on their cars.

So I put this to you, if we don't protest what do we do instead? How can we force the goverment to reduce the tax on fuel?

Some areas in the US require something very much like the MOT test - but it's handled at the state level and can vary wildly from place to place. Some localities it's not much more than a check to see if the break lights work, other places it's a full blown emissions and mechanical check.

"Brake" lights that is. I need my morning coffee.
