No, no,no and no.

 

I took my CBT today and am now allowed to hoon about on my 2 stroke, dirtying up the atmosphere and pulling wheelies for the 'birds' outside Maccy D's.

 

That makes me a target for the average car driver already I don't need him even more riled at me for being there, on his road, for free. Lets leave that to the cyclists ;-)

I`d like tax to go on fuel and then if you use the roads a lot, you would use more fuel and you would pay more for the upkeep.

Totally agree.

I remember France did this 15 years ago when I was over there, maybe they still do?

But France loaded 4x4s with extra wear on roads?

What, do motorcyclists actually tax their bikes these days ? They never used to !

 

I remember coming across an accident a few years ago. A biker - part of the 'sunday crews' that we get in North Wales all summer - had failed to get round a bend and dropped his bike in the ditch. As soon as his friends found out that he wasn't seriously wounded, every single one of them vanished, as none of the bikes had tax, test or insurance.

worth a try if you own a bike

when do you see motorcycle congestion

dont you think theres enough tax on fuel already ? I'd actually quite like the ved to actually be spent on the upkeep of the roads

I agree. the roads are deadly for bikes with pot holes all over the place, but as long as they don`t do what they done with the pole tax (ridiculously high) on the fuel and no one can get away without paying for their road tax

 

This has got a bit serious a bit quickly.

 

Cool down a bit, it's only tax.

full agree

Regarding tax on fuel. I've always said that this would be the fairest way of charging. Just like electricity, gas etc, the more you use, the more you pay. My average mileage per year is 6000, but my neighbour, who has exactly the same vehicle as mine, and pays the same road tax,averages 70000. Also, adding the tax to fuel, means that no one will get away with not taxing their vehicle.

Thinking there would be a lot more fuel thefts. :)

Every single bike wasn't taxed, mot'd or insured. :hmm: Sweeping statement there. Maybe they didn't have licences either and were all over the drink drive limit too. You know what a bunch of crims motorcyclists are.
