No, its for using the vehicle on the roads. You can SORN the vehicle itself if you don't wish to use it on the road. >> They clog up the roads & break all the rules. > > Clog up the roads, cyclists?

Yes clog up the roads. The prats round here drive 4 abreast on narrow roads so you can't pass them. > >> Every normal person (which clearly excludes cyclists) knows what >> road tax is and that you have to pay it to use the roads. > > Once again, YOU PAY TO USE THE VEHICLE, NOT FOR THE ROAD. > You can say you pay for the roads as often as you like it still is > not true. Bollox. You can SORN the vehicle if you don't want to use it on the road. The moment it touches the road you have to have a valid tax disc. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk

Use of the road itself is completely free. Try driving a car on a public road without a valid VED disc & see what the Police say about it. The same vehicle only used on private land would not need to have VED. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk

But at last you have stopped lying & admitted you are a freeloading sponging cyclist. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk

David Lang & Steve Firth have too much common sense to ride a bike. Nice try fuckwit, tried to evade the issue & failed completely. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
