Default Time to reintroduce Road Tax

Most vehicles are now taxed starting from £140 which the government
supposedly set up as a pothole tax and to build new roads of the type
that cyclists don't use. (What will the money actually get used for?)

The trouble is that many people think it is a rental payment, not a
maintenance payment.

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
bicycle. If cyclists pay 1p per year Road Tax how much should
motorists pay?


A bit less than now but more on fuel.
