a quarter of motorists want cyclists to pay road tax

A study by Confused.com, has found that motorists have had enough of two-wheeled trekkers, with 25% of drivers stating that they are keen to see cyclists pay road tax. Are you proud that a quarter of your fellow drivers are too stupid to know that *any* zero emission vehicle pays zero VED? |

Not just zero emission vehicles but many "low polluting" cars like these pay no VED. http://www.swldxer.co.uk/roadtax.jpg Two million motor vehicles are now VED exempt. -- Simon Mason |

If you wanted an extra car, would that "argument" hold water?

There's no such thing as 'road tax'. That's irrelevant in this context. For example, I'd like anyone that believes 'market research' put out by an insurance company is a useful contribution to human knowlege to be subject to swingeing levels of dozy oaf tax. It doesn't matter that currently no-one is subject to dozy oaf tax. (Well, possibly people with speeding fines, but that's a different discussion) regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |

Only 2% of journeys are made by push bike, but bicyclists still want cycle lanes, forward junctions, free cycle parking etc etc. Some do. Some bicyclists just want to be treated as legitimate travellers, the same as other travellers. I for one wouldn't mind paying a fare share towards the upkeep of the highways and byways, provided that's what it went towards of course. Clearly not a 'proper' bicyclist. I am really glad that I am not a 'proper' bicyclist by your definition. -- An oft-repeated lie is still a lie. |
