Default 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.
