The name is irrelevant.

So you agree cyclists pay VED.
Or are you saying those who pay more Vehicle Tax have greater priority on the roads?


Cyclists have to pay the same when they purchase petrol.

How much petrol does your bicycle use?

A non zero amount, although mainly diesel.
Are you saying that those who use most fuel have higher priority?
My petrol automatic car probably uses more fuel that yours so you need to get out of my way, especially when I am on my bicycle and my taxed car is on private property.


Where did I claim that?

That's all we think she may have done.


You are bipolar?

Are you a motorist or cyclist if you have a bicycle on the roof of the car you are driving?

I didn't say that whatsoever. They only pay it if they have a car, then they are also drivers.

They should do. They go faster.

Funny, my bicycle uses only calories, and I don't drink diesel.

Try arguing with a lorry when you're cycling.

My petrol automatic car probably uses more fuel that yours so you need to get out of my way, especially when I am on my bicycle and my taxed car is on private property.

When your car is on private property, why would I need to get out of the way of it?

Where did I claim that?

No, and why does that compute from the previous discussion?

Both. Unless it's your wife's bicycle.

You just said that if you are pushing a bicycle then you are a cyclist.
Then you said someone pushing a bicycle should be on the pavement.
This means you think cyclists should ride on the pavement.

If I am cycling and want to cross the road on a zebra, I will dismount and cross as a pedestrian carrying hand luggage. If I was still a cyclist, I would be breaking the law, ergo I am now a pedestrian.

Which taxes are those?

This bloke charges his zero rated VED car from roof solar panels and so pays no taxes at all.

Car tax (VED) and 400% tax on petrol.

The primary road user was walking facing oncoming traffic as
recommended by the Highway Code.
I suppose there is no possibly that the tertiary road user
illegally sounded it's horn aggressively and used it's vehicle as a
weapon.

If the cyclist was walking on the road instead of the pavement, she
had every right to get annoyed.

There was no suggestion of a footway being available.
Even if there was how is attempted murder justified?

Hooting a horn is attempted murder?

Cyclist horned to death! :-)

What is this strange concept of a road-going vehicle "crossing the road"?

Does anyone ever cross a road with a car or a lorry?

Lone female victim. Again.

http://www.london24.com/news/cyclist...bank_1_4121144

The story in the OP was about a deliberate crime committed by a cyclist
against a lone female (unfortunately, not as rare an occurrence as it
ought to be).

Your citation seems to be about a traffic accident.

What's the connection (if any)?

There is no such thing as 'an accident', you thick, tory troll.
