Yes, I pay to use the roads twice, once as a motorist and once as a cyclist. Only twice Tom? You are lucky. I pay as a motorist, cyclist, homeowner, earner, saver, spender, the list goes on... Motorists pay as motorists, homeowners, earners, savers, spenders. And they pay a septic tax to use the roads. That's their choice. What part of that are you too terminally stupid to understand? If people pay money to the government that they don't have to, who is it that's stupid? According to Medway, motorists pay a septic tax to use the roads. I have never heard of this and as a motorist I don't think I have ever paid it. Perhaps the septic tax is contained within the Vehicle Excise Duty or fuel duty. Maybe it forms part of the VAT on fuel? I don't know. But if Medway pays septic tax to use the roads that is up to him, no one else does and no one else is forcing him to pay it. Even if he does pay this tax he has no more right to use the roads than anyone else. Ah! At last I get it! Thank you mile******. It's taken UK.Rec.Cycling's chief idiot to make me realise! Its the old cyclists delusion that they pay their way! Sorry, should have realised. I imagined I was communicating with normal human beings speaking English, when I was actually communicating with the cyclist sub species of human who communicate in Cylenglish. My mistake. However, I have learned something here. Its a classic case of denial. I always thought cyclists were just being clever little ****s when they called Road Tax VED. They are so desperate to score points its typical behaviovior. Now I realise its a guilt trip! Since cyclists live in a fantasy world where they actually believe they pay their way, the existence of a phrase like 'Road Tax' is an anathema. So in their denial state they choose to ignore the term in common usage - because it reminds them they are sponging freeloaders. Interesting to know that everyone else; the man in the street, the Police, the media - all understand the exact meaning of the term 'Road Tax'. I can see I'll have to resort- again - to a language cyclists will understand. Since they believe children's toys are a viable means of transport; See John paying Income Tax, NI & VAT. See Janet paying exactly they same Income Tax, NI & VAT. See John buy a shiny new push bike. See Janet buy a shiny new car - but not one of the very few exceptions to Road Tax. See John ride his new push bike on public roads. John likes his new push bike. See PC Plod telling Janet she can't use her new car on the road unless she has Road Tax. PC Plod uses the term Road Tax because everyone knows what it means. Jane knows what Road Tax is. John pretends not to know what Road Tax is - because he is a sponging freeloader. See Janet going to the Post Office with a large amount of cash. Mr Stamp at the Post Office knows exactly what Janet means when she asks for Road Tax. Janet pays lots of money to Mr Stamp for her Road Tax Disc. See Janet drive her car on the public highway without having to worry about PC Plod and his ANPR cameras. I'm glad we cleared that up. I would say thanks to mile******, but he is a total prat, so I won't. LOL! That is excellent! Even if it does come from one of my betes noires. |
