True.

Some cyclists have it, some don't. Some motorists have it, some don't. I'd be more inclined to get the number of motorists insured closer to 100% first

 

Just 'done a Google' - I could get insured for £25 for a year for a bicycle - covers very little - BUT I would have insurance as requested

it does though.

 

3rd party cycling insurance is often included, for free, with your home insurance.

you're paying for insurance against theft. and legal assistance when you get clobbered by a car.

 

the 3rd part element is essentially free.

Totally laughable that people are giving this time

Served a purpose for the Tories for a bit to take the headlines off crippling energy bills, spiralling inflation and our water providers pumping s*** onto our beaches.

 

Red meat for right wing headbangers.

More people are killed by bees & wasps per year than cyclists.

Wasps can also travel up to 32 km/h

Did they stop doing cycling proficiency classes in schools? Surely education on how to cycle on roads from a young age would help?
I remember doing them as a kid.

It's been replaced by the far more comprehensive Bikeability scheme.

B1 - we've told you about this before & we thought you had got it!

Now print this out & stick it on the fridge door with a burger shaped fridge magnet

 

There is no such thing as Road Tax

There is a tax based on vehicle emissions - bicycles do not give off emissions so are not be liable to tax - not even Padders on his penny farthing after a lentil madras, still no emissions (although possibly some gas)

 

So I could ride my bicycle 10 billion miles in a year - no emissions - no tax - that is correct

You could drive your Rolls Royce Corniche 1 mile in a year - emissions - tax payable - that is correct

 

Tell us that you've got it - please

Oh dear, having a bit of a mare aren't you. Road tax does exist. The term is an accepted coliquialism for people talking about Vehicel Excise Duty (Road Fund Licence is also acceptable)

In any case if a tax/levy/duty were to be introduced, it's unlikely to be based on emissions as it wouldn't gain any revenue.

Like drivers then, like you.

So a different rule for a vicar in a village. What about an inner city vicar outside of rus hour? Or a village postman? Same rules?

 

I can see you've given this some serious thought. As per my first post, clickbait for Tory headbangers.
