Transport Act 2000

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

(2) Subject to sections 164 to 167 and to any modifications made by virtue of section 169, the designation of the roads in respect of which charges are imposed by a charging scheme under this Part shall be such as the charging authority or authorities may determine. (3) Any charge imposed by a charging scheme under this Part in respect of the keeping of a motor vehicle on a road must also have effect in respect of the use of the motor vehicle on that road. (4) A charging scheme under this Part may make provision in relation to the manner in which charges are to be made, collected, recorded and paid. (5) The charges that may be imposed by a charging scheme under this Part include different charges (which may be no charge) for different cases, including (in particular)— (a) different days, (b) different times of day, (c) different roads, (d) different distances travelled, and (e) different classes of motor vehicles , and (f) different methods or means of recording, administering, collecting or paying the charge. (6) In setting the charges imposed by a charging scheme under this Part, regard may be had to the purposes for which any of the net proceeds of the charging scheme may be applied (in accordance with Schedule 12). (7) A charging scheme under this Part may contain provision requiring— (a) documents to be displayed while a motor vehicle is on a road in respect of which charges are imposed, or (b) equipment to be carried in or fitted to a motor vehicle while it is on such a road.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
