Time to bring back Road Tax
A typical modern car with all the 'safety' features weight 2 tonnes. Add in 5 typical motorists at 200kg each and compare it to a typical 10 kg bicycle. Using the 4th power of axle loading rule if cyclists pay 1p in annual 'Road Tax' motorists will need to pay £8.1 Billion each and that is before we take into account motorways and road space. |

Well, if you are including the occupants of car, you ought to put another 65kg on the bicycle. |

More like 1 tonne for a normal hatchback. And be more sensible and say the motorists weigh 100kg. So, one cyclist and one bicycle = 75kg. 5 motorists and one car = 1500kg = 300kg each. So the motorists are placing 4 times the weight on the road as the cyclist, not 810,000,000,000 times the weight. And we already have road tax. I don't care what label you put on it, motorists pay to use the road, that is a tax on the road. |

What do the drivers of low polluting cars, like electric cars pay in VED? Nowt. But that's just a temporary encouragement to lower pollution. Once we all have electric cars, the tax will be re-added (at a much higher rate as there won't be petrol duty), there will be a shortage of electricity so prices of that will skyrocket, there will be a shortage of lithium (which I think they still can't recycle properly) so the batteries will be phenominally expensive. Virtually nobody will be able to afford a car, and your household electricity will also be way too expensive. |

He pays nothing in VED or electricity. |

He pays nothing in VED or electricity. Those panels are very expensive, they're the most inefficient way of generating power. It only works out for some due to government grants. So did the criminal council remove those bollards? I'd have locked up whoever made that decision for theft of his car. They prevented him using it. |
