Car tax is free for cars emitting <100g CO2/km anyway, so how could you possibly justify charging a cyclist?

Calm down, calm down!

It was a joke

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I just wish cyclists would obey the highway code rules.

I'm fed up being mown down on zebra or pelican crossings by cyclists who either decide that they don't have to stop for red lights so run them or decide they're pedestrians and cross the road at pedestrian crossings.

It's probably the usual thing- a small % giving the majority a bad name. However, if you believe the polls, the majority run red lights.....

Personally I think it would only be fair to give all pedestrians tazars to use on any cyclists who try to run them over. Just hear that Lycra sizzle

A cycle + cyclist may not do much damage if they crashed into a car but they sure could do if they crashed into a pedestrian. I know how much it hurts cos I did it to someone back in the day. Damn Wonderbra adverts near pelican crossings.... That's just plain bad planning....
