    This petition was started by a chap who lives near me and its now (according to Radio 4 today) the biggest online petition since they started the system with over 1 million signatures.

    It will be interesting to see if the government take notice. Probably not though.

    Signed it a while ago, it's interesting but with approximately 24 million cars on the UK roads that makes the percentage so far about 4.33%

    Will be interesting to see if these e-petitions will have any affect on policy
