Only when cyclists think they should get their roads for free.

The roads cyclist use are paid for with council tax and cyclists on average pay more council tax than motorists. Even Autoholics Anonymous agree with this.

You pay zero road tax and petrol tax, so a lot less.

Thanks for showing a video of morons on freeloading bicycles.

Bicycles are objects, they cannot be freeloading.

Do grow up. Anyone with half a brain could tell I was referring to the cyclists.

"The car crashed into the wall" - would you say that was incorrect because the driver was the one controlling it?

Please try to prove your own point in future.

The only way to redeem yourself is to show where in government legislation this 'road tax' is defined.

Type "road tax" without the quotes into google. First link is the government website.

The name of the tax changes nothing, the fact is cars pay, bicycles don't, so move over, or use the ****ing cycle paths we provide for you.

Cars pay nothing, motorists pay 60% of the motorway maintenance budget through VED.

Yeah right, like the government carefully places it into different categories. The fact remains if you drive a car you give a lot of money to the government that a cyclist does not.

There's everything wrong with insisting that everyone else does the same

No, I need someone to show where in government legislation I can find road tax defined.

Why do you need this? Just what's wrong with your ****ed up head? Do you never meet people, do you never hear it called road tax? Everybody either calls it road tax or a tax disk (before they made it paperless). Look up the evolution of the English language, colloquialisms, something, please. You're boring the group to tears.

I wouldn't take a BMW for free. Well maybe for scrap value.

My last car was essentially free - bought it for £50, scrap value even
now is £80.

Worth much more as a running car, of course.

I bought a Transit van for £100, then sold it to someone for £100 when it fell apart, they wanted the engine which was in working order.

I bought a Peugeot for £700 from a Vauxhall dealer who wanted rid of it, then sold it for £900 on Ebay after using it for 2 years.

I bought a Range Rover for £300, used it for 1 month out of the year, the rest of the time it was in various garages trying to get fixed. After spending £1000 on it, I sold it for £200 scrap. Nobody ever found out why it never felt like starting. Do not ever convert a car to LPG.. If you want to use LPG, find a car where it was designed to do so and made to by the manufacturer. LPG burns hotter and destroys a petrol engine. A similar thing happened to my Honda CRV, except I conned the person buying it into thinking there was an accelerator fault (I'd increased the idle speed to stop it stalling all the time). In fact I think the valves had melted.

No, Car Tax is the additional tax you pay when you buy a new car.

I am glad to be able to advise you that Car Tax (the successor to
Purchase Tax, and insituted in 1973 because the Treasury could not bear
to lose the greater proceeds of that tax wheb PT was otherwise replaced
by VAT) was abolished in the early 1990s (under John Major).

Motor cars are now subject "only" to VAT on purchase as new vehicles.

Commercial vehicles are subject to VAT when sold new and when sold
secondhand.

Happy to help.

There is also a first year premium to be paid in addition to road tax,
presumably to try and discourage sales, or just gouge the cash cow
motorist even further.

Some cars (4x4s I think) now pay £2000 road tax in the first year!
