Hyperbole? not from a cyclist, surely? Pavement cyclist claims aterrorist in a van weapon came near him.

Are Fedex drivers required to personally pay the carbon tax (aka VED) on their company vehicles?

A. There is no carbon tax on vehicles in the UK.

Some people call it VED.
Some, exceptionally low IQ, people call it Road Tax

There is no carbon tax on vehicles in the UK.
That is all.
You know nothing about IQ, clearly.


What term would you suggest for VED?

What is "VED"?

I am waiting for your definition.


B. Fedex drivers tend to be self-employed owner-drivers,

Can you provide some evidence for that?

I know it to be true because a Fedex driver who is a good friend tells
me about the way the drivers relate to the company.

You are now claiming that if I want to become a Fedex driver I have to buy a specific type of motor vehicle, have it painted in the company colours and
wear the company uniform?

Have you always had such a vivid imagination?

You are the one who claims most Fedex drivers are owner operators.
The Fedex recruitment page does not mention this.
Do you have any evidence to support your claim?


Why would anyone do that?

What more do you want? His name and address?
You won't get those.

I am not interested in your 'friend with benefits'.

What are you bleating about now?

So... sort of "no", "no" and "yes".

I think simply 'No' will suffice.

Are you sure?

Remember the cyclist probably owns a taxed car, the difference is the cyclist's car is likely to be parked off road on private property unlike the minimum wage Fedex driver.

What does that (even if it were true) have to do with anything?

"Taxed car"?

You just said that those who didn't call it VED have a low IQ.

I said those who call VED 'Road Tax' have a low IQ.

So you did call it a tax, not a duty, just checking.

I cannot start to provide one until I have yours.

You are the one who claims most Fedex drivers are owner operators.

I told you what I was told by a person in the know. I am far more
inclined to believe him than I am to believe you.

So you've had your answer.

If you don't want to believe it, that's your own business.

The Fedex recruitment page does not mention this.

If you need the job that badly, why not just apply for it?

I am assuming you are qualified to drive. The assumption may not be a
safe one.

Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

I have given you the evidence I have.

I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve my friend.

Why would anyone do that?
