1. Fix Avra Valley Rd for Miners and Contractors 
The last 5 miles of Avra Valley Rd in pima county is so terrible, that some of the workers have had to replace certain parts on theirs vehicles prior to the average repair date. As car parts are rather expensive along with the repairs it is very costly for the workers to maintain vehicle stability.
Some workers have commented that they have to get alignments every couple months to prevent vehicle breakdown. The road can be considered dangerous for drivers to drive down as there are many holes and uneven paches in the pavement.
The Chevrolet Camaro is an automobile manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand, classified as a pony car and some versions also as a muscle car. It went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The car shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967.
Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived again on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009.

3. Allow another colour for private hire drivers
A row about rules which mean Dudley borough private hire cars must be painted white came to a head at a meeting of the authority's taxi's committee last month.
Councillors threw out an application for a relaxation of the rules from the Dudley Private Hire and Taxi Association, who argue white has become a popular colour for car buyers which has increased demand and pushed up prices.
The Dudley Private Hire and Taxi Association, which has around 600 members, says white cars can cost up to £2,000 more than similar vehicles in other colours.
4. Save A&K Auto Repairs from closure at current location
Planning permission and appeal was refused for the workshop at Unit 1, West Pitcorthie. Fife Council are forcing the business to cease trading from 31 January 2013 or be prosecuted.
As there are no other premises in the area available at the moment this seems criminal!! There is no other reason for the business to close as it is doing well serving the local community many of which rely on A&K Auto Repairs for their mobile businesses.
5. Make pre-1988 cars tax exempt in the UK
In 1998 the government froze the tax exempt laws to cars made pre 1974 and it NEEDS to be updated, so make cars made pre 1988 (25+ years old) tax exempt!
6. Freedom Roads: Improve traffic flow in Brisbane
Any road, which has an increase in traffic volumes, which is not a secondary or primary arterial road, is to be upgraded to secondary arterial road status as soon as practicable.
All impediments to free flow of traffic movement are to be removed as soon as reasonable and the road widened as far as the topography allows.
Traffic growth is to be seen as an indicator that the road needs an upgrade and opening up to allow free flow of traffic.
The rights of the motorists and the number of motorists who are taxpayers are to be considered in any forum, which presents itself as championing itself as being for impeding traffic flow.
That the normal growth of the city be considered necessary and supporting that growth is freedom to use roads lawfully and reasonably is a right of all motoring public.
7. Change Driver Training and Laws for Safer Roads
In the UK one in five young drivers are involved in accidents in the first year of driving. The percentage is higher in young male drivers. This can be attributed to various factors. Lack of experience, driving too fast, lack of concentration due to distractions while driving, insufficient training for bad weather driving and no motorway training what so ever.
There are also issues regarding experienced drivers. We are in a situation where you can pass a driving test at 17 and not be reassessed until the age of 70.
Currently at 70 you can apply on line to renew you licence and only require a medical certificate for medium and large vehicles. The above also contribute to road accidents.
Not only do some accidents change lives for ever especially if the accident is fatal. There are both financial and man power strains put on our emergency services.
With a few simple law changes we can reduce road accidents and fatalities in the UK Another positive could be a reduction in insurance premiums. Less accidents equal less claims which in theory should equal lower insurance costs.
IF YOU SUPPORT THIS PETITION, PLEASE FORWARD THE LINK TO FRIENDS, FAMILY & CONTACTS AND ASK THEM TO DO THE SAME.

9. Request for Public Inquiry into Child and Family Services Authority
Workers within all branches of Child and Family Services Authority in Alberta have been maliciously abusing their powers and misinterpreting their mandates.
The Minister responsible for those branches is as guilty as the workers for blatantly closing their eyes on the partial list of the following issues:
usage of threats,
usage of coercion,
intimidation tactics,
fabrication of evidence,
dismissing complaints,
breach of human rights,
breach of constitutional rights,
breach of laws,
inadequate investigations,
not following their own protocols,
various forms of discriminations,
direct harassment,
internal and external collusions,
parading children to adoption candidate prior to Court procedures,
Court orders rendered without effective council representation.
10. Rescind road tax on classic cars
In the United Kingdom Classic Cars were exempt road tax after reaching 25 years age but that privilege for keepers of cars made after 1973 was revoked which operates unjustly on the keepers of cars made after that date who are obliged to pay the full vehicle excise duty for classic cars that do not cover many miles on public roads each year.
That is a punitive tax the government is asked to review and remove from vehicle keepers who by keeping classic vehicles provide a service to the community by preserving historic cars for its enjoyment.
Typically many owners of such cars will themselves be veterans unable to pay with ease full road tax for a car that is hardly ever driven on roads but required to display a fully paid Vehicle Excise Licence when on the road whereas those made before 1973 do not. That is an injustice that should be put right.
11. Keep Formula One coverage on the BBC for ALL races from 2012 and stop F1 going to Sky Sports
Formula 1 is going to sky sports denying a lot of fans the chance to watch the races.
It was announced on 29 July 2011 that Sky Sports and BBC would team up to show the races in F1 in 2012, but that there will be free to air restrictions. Sky Sports will show every single race as well as practice sessions and qualifying sessions ad-free, while the BBC would only have limited coverage, some of which will be delayed and not live.
This petition is calling on the UK Parliament and F1 to ensure that F1 remains LIVE on free to air Television.
VEHICLE owners hit with defect notices will have to pay new on-the-spot fines, expected to rake in millions for the State Government.
The new fines - $120 for a minor defect and $250 for a major defect - will apply from July 1.
Minor defects include bald tyres, faulty brake lights and broken windscreen wipers, while major defects include faulty brakes, illegal modifications and faulty suspension. Defect notices do not currently incur a fine, although a vehicle owner must pay $26 to have the notice removed after repairs are made.
The Motor Trade Association's SA president, Colin Clark, said a blown light bulb was an example of a fault which would incur a $120 fine and a defect sticker.
Free charity cars is an organization that helps people in need to get donated cars. These cares are given to families who need them.
We need help letting people know and to help in some way. Please share this.
14. A86 Barriers between Roy Bridge and Tulloch
Every week, during ALL driving conditions, people lose their cars, and sometimes their lives on the short stretch of road between Roy Bridge and Tulloch.
These accidents could be reduced with some strategically placed barriers.
15. We Need A Fence On Our Highways To Protect Our People From Hitting Large Animals Like Mooses
THERE IS ALOT THAT COULD BE SAID HERE... BUT JUST JUDGING ON WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ON FACEBOOK I DECIDED TO START A PETITION.... WE ARE TAXPAYERS & WE SHOULD HAVE A SAY ON HOW OUR TAX MONEY IS SPENT...... THIS WOULD BE A WISE INVESTMENT!
JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF AN ACCIDENT....
Shediac RCMP (District 4 South East) are investigating a fatal motor vehicle collision that occurred Saturday on Highway 11 in Shediac Bridge.
RCMP said a passenger vehicle travelling in the southbound lane collided with a moose around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
The driver, a 29-year-old man from Dieppe died at the scene of the crash. His wife, a 26-year-old woman from Dieppe was rushed to hospital in critical condition. She later died in hospital on October 3, 2010. The only survivor from the crash was their 2 year-old son who sustained minor injuries.
An RCMP re-constructionist was called to investigation the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
The names of the victims were not available last night.

16. Brian Menzies deserves to be on Oprah let's make this happen!
Brian Menzies is the CEO of Charity cars inc. Let's all get him on the Oprah show as we have been trying to for months now sign the petition and pass it along!
The Original Charity Cars (DBA Free Charity Cars) is a 501-C-3 non-profit charity, EIN 59-3362703. Established in 1996, our founding mission is to provide refurbished donated vehicles to struggling individuals or qualified entities. Considered the pioneers of the free car-ownership concept, our entrepreneurial organization is totally self-sufficient and succeeds without a penny of government funding. Year after year, our charity leads the nation in awarding free vehicles to deserving candidates across America (over 4000), many times paying for the down-payment for auto insurance, as well as the tag, title and registration fees. Additional auto related assistance provided may include mechanical repairs, body-shop repairs, roadside assistance, warranty purchases, parts purchases, rental cars, or even the down-payment for the purchase of a new or used car.
The Original Charity Cars has enjoyed an avalanche of local and national publicity, including being featured Montel Williams, Good Morning America, CBS Morning News, and Two Guys Garage. Articles about the program have appeared in a host of publications including People Magazine, Women's World Magazine, Motor Trend, The Non-Profit Times, and The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Among its many awards, our organization is honored to be a past winner of the prestigious Walt Disney World Outstanding Community Service Award.
The Government is proposing a Cash for Clunkers scheme, where owners of pre-1995 cars can trade in their old cars and receive a $2000 cash incentive when they trade-up to 'green cars'.
The cars that are traded are then proposed to be destroyed/crushed, which could result in a reduction in the availability of parts for restoration and maintaining old cars.
18. Fair Registration for Modified Vehicles
The NSW RTA is proposing changes to the current registration system for modified vehicles.
These changes will mean that the majority of modified vehicles will be classified as individually constructed and will have to comply with the ADR's current on the day that it goes for registration.
19. Enforce Laws on vehicles to use Indicators when mobile
In the early 70's, I passed my driving test for a car, I was taught to use Indicators for overtaking parked vehicles, at junction's and round-a-bouts.
Up to present day, if you take your "HGV or BUS" lessons and Test, you must Indicate at all times, when needed. Over the following years the rules have changed and new car drivers are told its no longer needed to indicate.
This is not acceptable, as it is common decency to show your intentions of direction, when mobile. For Paramount safety on our Roads.
20. Support Drag Racing in Charters Towers
The Charters Towers Drag Racing Club is a not for profit organisation established in 2005. It now boasts over 60 financial club members.
Each year the Charters Towers Drag Racing Club hosts drag racing events at the local airstrip. These events have become a huge success with over 1500 spectators and over 60 competitors. People come from as far as Brisbane, Rockhampton, Mackay, Mt Isa and Cairns.
The success and popularity of these events has enabled us to recognise that there is a need for a permanent drag racing facility in Charters Towers.
By showing your support and signing this petition you are helping to strengthen our proposal of the construction of this facility. Your help is much appreciated.
21. Mandatory DMV approved Driver's Education Courses
Automobile accident rates among teenagers are a serious issue, with car crashes being the no. 1 killer of teenagers in America.
22. Form a Highway Patrol in the UK
As a driving instructor for many years, I see examples of bad driving, dangerous driving, bad obstructive parking, terrible pedestrian activity, lack of consideration, intolerance, impatience, aggressive driving, total ignorance and stupidity amongst some drivers, lack of knowledge of the Highway Code, lack of attention to safety, and downright nastiness towards ourselves (with learners at the wheel) and with others.
I teach people to drive by the rules, as do the driving instructor industry as a whole, and yet, all around us are idiots, criminals, and fools, and no one to bring them to book. There is an absence of police to enforce the rules and laws, already in existence, and all we have is a seemingly useless parking patrol service, which I have been seen to ignore bad parking.
We need to put the servicing of the highway laws back into the hands of the police. We need something with teeth to bring these people into line, for the general safety of others.
23. Twenty's Plenty in Wokingham Town Centre
Twenty's Plenty
The Wokingham Labour Party is leading a cross-community, non-partisan effort to get Wokingham Borough Council to reduce the speed limit in central Wokingham to 20mph.
A properly enforced 20mph limit on the streets of Wokingham has the potential to reduce death and serious injuries by over 50% and create a road environment that would encourage a significant increase in walking and cycling. The health and environmental benefits would be enormous.

24. Ban cars from Brick Lane on Sundays, market day
Brick Lane is one of the most popular tourist destinations on Sundays, filled with boutiques, markets and antiques. The local council Tower Hamlets are not stopping cars using the street on Sundays, leading to chaos, potential accidents and generally ruining the great vibe of the area.
It would be easy to put up diversion signs. A case of red tape getting in the way of health and safety - a rarity in England.
Even when the road was blocked by an ambulance they wouldn't stop cars driving into that part of the street
A video that I produced about the probem can be seen online at the link
25. Revise The Provisional Driving Rules In SA
South Australia continue to introduce tough new draconian laws for provisional drivers, which are not in line with other states and other cities worldwide. The reason given for the introduction of these laws is to reduce the representation of young fatalities on our roads.
South Australia only allows 3 demerit points before disqualifying young provisional drivers which is not consistent with other states. Under the Rann government the representation of young fatalities on our roads has increased.
26. Save the Cars
The Cash for Clunkers program is a potentially phenomenol program with one giant flaw. It is designed to stimulate the economy by offering financial assistance to consumers who are trading in vehicles. This part of the program is wonderful. It is the second part of the program that will potentially take the jobs of tens of thousands of people nationwide.
All vehicles traded in under the cash for clunkers program are required to be destroyed. This takes hundreds of thousands out of the used car and used auto parts market. This number is tremendous and cannot be ignored. Also, there are people who cannot afford newer cars and need inexpensive vehicles available to them. This program will prevent them from being able to get automobiles.
27. Say No to "Cash for Clunkers" Bill
This program is completely voluntary. but the salvage yards will not be able to sell Engines, and Transmissions that could be used to maintain an older car.
Currently there's a bill called "Cash for Clunkers" which the government will proposed federal program that would encourage consumers to trade in gas-guzzlers or older cars for new cars that get better fuel economy, and that new cars are safer then the older cars.
The government will pay $2000 dollars to $4000 depending on the fuel economy of the new car compared to the older car, when the trade is made the older car will be crushed as well with the Engine and transmission and not be sold again! the Engines and transmissions will be crushed. which people can use in current cars of the same make and model that need engines or transmissions for their cars to run.
The government will send the money to the dealer via electronic voucher...
28. Stop the Mandatory Termination of your Local Amercian Auto Dealer
A mandatory elimination of your local American Auto Dealer is unjust. The termination would be devastating to their community and the surrounding towns. Lost jobs, increased taxes, and the erosion of your local economy is inevitable. Your Dealer is not an expense to the Manufacturer or the Government.
Our Free Enterprise is being violated by the Governments' Socialistic views. The Manufacturer is also being manipulated, in are so called," Free Market". Take action to insure your American Rights and Freedom to make our own decisions!
29. Support our Four point Auto Bail Out plan
Tax payer dollars are being given to the Automobile industry and we must insure that the money is being used properly.
OFA Sierra Foothills Energy & Environment team has created a platform of four points that we feel are critical to the issue. We have done extensive research and discussed the Pros and cons surrounding the Automotive Industry and its problems. We feel these four points give us a voice in the issue.
Through stricter emission standards and technology advances as well as getting older polluting vehicles off the road we can clean up the environment, create jobs and wean ourselves off of fossil fuels that are imported from other countries.
30. Make our Meadows roads safer!
As per Emaar’s website; “As master planners, our responsibility is to provide everything people need within easy reach – often within walking distance. This means our team includes not just architects but urban designers, traffic planners and recreation specialists.”
Emaar invite us Meadows & Springs residents of Dubai to enjoy our gated community, walk, go out and enjoy the parks, playgrounds, pools, beautiful streets and lakes.
However, being out in the community can be a very dangerous experience. Children have drowned so pools received life guards and lakes where fenced.
Deadly accidents within the community did happen in our streets and many near accidents. What have been done until now to protect the pedestrians, many of which are children cycling, playing or walking in our streets? Beside a few sign posts not much at all.
The few installed speed humps are insufficient and meaningless for most 4x4’s and sedan’s, in a hurry to leave or get home.
Residents and visitors cannot properly park their cars due to the almost none existence of dedicated parking lots. Cars are therefore parked on the pedestrian path- ways forcing pedestrians to walk on the tarmac roads.
