Poor people drive old bangers .

[cuttsie]

As title , so because they are usually skint they buy a old car , The 

labour Government who are supposed to stick up for the Estate wallers decide that we will tax them scrotes of the Road , they do this by banging up road tax on old bangers ,  If a one  man band ont Arbouthorne ort Manor decided he or she will buy a old Transit and be a builder or scrap collector then the bleeedin socialist council will put them out of business by telling them they can’t take the old Tranny into Town because ,       It’s old and cheap and all they can afford ,     Get an electric one our leaders of all thing working class say ,  get one of them they only cost 50 grand  , get one and away you go .   
 

Then the cops get on the case , Old banger up Dore collect old weshers and fridges plus any old iron hanging around and the odd bike or two ,, eye eye , plod says to other plod ,  Let’s have a bit of fun here ,,. 

Van pulled . Tyres checked , licence , insurance,( no probs wi that ). But do they do the same wi uray Henry in his Porch who has just flown past going down Ringinlow like ****t. Of a shovel or the nice little lady at Totley shops who thinks she is in Spain by driving on the right while waving at a passing horse rider ,  (Why are they allowed on the road two abrest shiittting all or and not cleaning it up is a complete mystery tut Arbourthorne mob who get fined  if their Alsatian  craps Ont spare land at top of East Bank where no one ever walks except dog crap reporters .  
I give up .

There is no legislation that requires horse riders to pick up their horse's droppings on public roads, and councils usually don't have the power to enforce it. However, some say that riders should try to dismount and move the droppings to the side of the road when it's safe to do so. Riding schools that use public roads often do "poo runs" to clean up after their horses. 

 

Some say that horse droppings aren't a health risk to humans because dangerous bacteria like E. coli are killed by sunlight when the droppings are dispersed properly. Others say that clearing up horse droppings can be costly for authorities. 

 

If you see horse droppings on the road, you can report them to your local council, which may have a street cleaning service that removes them.

I've often wondered about that Cuttsie.

It's the media that winds up Joe public about the danger of roundworm in dog poo, I am sure all poo is nasty and a danger to health, even cat and fox poo.

Dogs do poo quite a lot and it needs picking up from most places, but in some rough places, the only ones to visit those places are people walking their dogs.

Times have changed, people don't venture out these days, when they do it's usually on standard footpaths or pavements.

To try and address some of the points in order
Road Tax = VED and rates are shown here; not sure that this Labour government have changed anything
https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables/rates-for-cars-and-light-goods-vehicles-registered-before-1-march-2001

My own vehicles are all before 2001, so are a fixed VED, which is a lot less than a higher spec new  car/van.
A cheap runabout, post 2001 can be found with a low VED
Some of my garage is 40+ years old and tax exempt anyway.
The CAZ is nothing to do with a Socialist Council, was brought in under a Tory government, and is the end result of the government losing court cases to Client Earth regarding air pollution (nowt to do with CO2, which gets covered by VED)

What do ClientEarth’s legal cases mean for local authority plans to deliver nitrogen dioxide compliance in England and Wales? opens a pdf
Lots of issues with "scrap collectors" who need to be licenced under environmental legislation.

Register or renew as a waste carrier, broker or dealer  HMG

Householders, or others, who employ unlicensed collectors, who then flytip, can be prosecuted as well as the tippers themselves, who's vehicles may be crushed.

Fly-tipping & the law Keep Britain Tidy

Fly-tipping is a serious criminal offence for which you can be prosecuted.

The courts have various powers available to them to tackle fly-tipping, including imprisonment, unlimited fines and an order to deprive rights to a vehicle used to commit the offence.

It’s vital to always pass horses slowly and with plenty of room. British Horse Soc, watch the video 

Like with cyclists, it's sometimes advisable to ride two abreast in order to prevent vehicles overtaking somewhere dangerous.

It's best to pick up the horse droppings, not with bare hands, a shovel is better, and use them on your garden, if they're near home.

This thread is absolutely bonkers.

 

Well done everyone.
