perplexed Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Interesting how non of the usaul nonsense spouters have come back on the points raised by cyclists isn't it? Actually, no, it probably isn't. Nobody gives a monkeys what they think, because they're not bright enough to recognise a "learning need" when it smacks them in the face. Or to retire gracefully with an apology when proved wrong beyond doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I hate drivers. I saw a driver, he was punching a kitten in the face. The kitten was crying and crying and he wouldn't stop. Yeah but cyclists helped ET escape. An alien who was hanging around with children. Probably a paedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshombe Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Most drivers frequently engage in the kidnapping of small children - FACT And don't forget they all commited Brighton Trunk Murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshombe Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Incidentally, fact fans, the total number of cyclist commuters in this country (1 million) is less than the total number of uninsured drivers in this country (1.2 million). Uninsured drivers cost the rest of us £400 million last year. So there are 1 Million uninsured cyclists on the road, just think how much that would rake in if they had to pay road fund tax and insurance.

splodgeyAl Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 So there are 1 Million uninsured cyclists on the road, just think how much that would rake in if they had to pay road fund tax and insurance. Less than nothing. Because they'd be zero rated, so wouldn't even cover the cost of administering a system that would collect no money, and insurance would go to erm, insurance companies.

splodgeyAl Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Show me the facts. Links to them have been posted many times on this and similar threads. But without even looking, what leads you to believe that a cyclist would be charged more than a zero rated motor vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splodgy, I wouldn't bother showing him the facts - he asked someone to show him some facts the other day and when they did he just carried on like a spoilt child saying 'well they would say that wouldn't they'.
