However, car drivers do pay insurance in case they cause an accident. Cyclists do not. Motorists do have to have their vehicles registered for use on the road to provide attribution. Cyclists do not. Car drivers do have to have their vehicles prepared to a minimum safety standard. Cyclists do not. Motorists do have to be trained and assessed as qualified to use the roads. Cyclists do not. |

The capacity for harm of a bicycle is almost nil, compared to that of a car. It's like bitching because pedestrians don't have registration numbers stitched into the back of their jackets, and mandatory insurance, when car drivers do. And why do you post under two different names? |

As the registered keeper of a motor vehicle, you have some responsibilities. One of them is to make sure it's taxed if it's on the road. I don't think it's a big ask to have a once-a-year click-the-box to say "Yep, it still exists, I've still got it, I'm still at the same address, and the vehicle's still not on the road." I seem to manage to have had anything up to six or seven SORNed vehicles at any one time, and at _least_ one at all times, since SORN was introduced. Without getting a single fine for not managing. It's not difficult. |

I don't mean a man in the strict sense, but you know what I mean. If you don't want to post it on here then you can email me: hartsheadp at aol.com |
