Road damage is the 4th power of axle loading which means a 1000kg car
causes 100 million times as much damage to our roads as a 10kg

motorists pay?



Be reasonable, one should include the driver/passenger/cyclist's weight as
well. 70kg per cyclist, 120kg per car occupant.


Yes, but then we should add a tank of fuel at about 50kgs.
