Here, here.

No such thing as Road Tax - it was abolished in the 30's. Drivers pay Vehicle Excise Duty - that's a tax on the vehicle, not on the road.

Roads of national importance (Motorways, etc) are funded by central government - so every tax payer pays for these, not just those who use them.

Local roads are paid for by local councils, so their paid for by council tax. So a cyclist with a bigger council tax bill than you pays more towards the roads than you do !

All that tax (and the tax on the tax) you pay on fuel? That goes into the general pot - it's not reserved for the roads.

Not every vehicle using our roads pay's tax on fuel.

And I don't mean using veg oil..

without starting another 'debate' there is plenty of 'sh*t' coming out of the back of a bus (or any other vehicle) that never gets cleaned up, hence the Co2 tax we all pay

If you drive a carriage horse in a town then you have to have a bag mounted to the carriage to collect the poo.

At least you can see horse shite on the roads and try to miss it - split diesel is invisible and deadly.

It's only a bit of horse poo lol,

Come and drive down wales, Most of the roads are covered with mud.

Haha! love it! - http://www.youtube.com/user/BadSwind...37/M5oTCUweBH0

He's cycling in a bus lane with a cycle lane empty next to it and he still thinks he's in the right!!

Makes me want to go to Swindon and give him something to moan about

Blokes a fooking mupet, wants to try & ride a bike in London where there is everyday riding

Tax. Vehicle Excise Duty goes into general taxation (along with income tax and other forms of tax) roads are paid for out of general taxation. So car drivers are not "paying" for any "right" to be on the road. In fact, if that cyclist earns more than you (and lots of cyclists are professional people), he or she is paying more income tax, so contributing a higher proportion to road building and repairs. Using that argument, a cyclist could have more "right" to be there than a car driver.

Cycle lanes. We don't have to use them. In fact if we are intending to travel quickly the Highway Code recommends that we do NOT use them.

Overtaking a cyclist. Cars are supposed to give cyclists as much room as if they were overtaking another car. Not squeeze desperately past, cut in because something is coming the other way, and then brake sharply because there is a line of traffic anyway ...

Roundabouts. After one-way systems, roundabouts present a huge challenge to a cyclist. We can't go nearly as fast as cars, yet, we still have to change lanes to get to the exit we want. We can't go on the pavement because car drivers will tut and shake their heads, so into the road we go... and do you think any cars will slow down to let us manoeuvre? Not on your life. So when you think we are "riding in the middle of the road", actually we are changing lanes. If I stayed in the nearside lane on every roundabout I would only ever be able to turn left.

Oh, and I stop at red lights. Even pedestrian ones when there is no-one crossing and no-one waiting to cross.

Yer pays yer money, yer takes yer chances!!!

Lifes a bitch!

Try peddlin faster
