When cyclists pay road tax for their bikes then they can have a say in how

They do pay taxes which get spent on road building and maintenance.
Those taxes are called income tax, national insurance, VAT, booze duty,
and a whole load of other taxes.
So what? We all pay those taxes. Are cyclists doing it out of the kindness
of their hearts and so should be given special dispensation not to have to
tax their bikes?
They even pay vehicle tax, because most of them also have cars,
God almighty , how often is this idiotic excuse going to keep coming up?
ALL vehicles should be taxed. Its the VEHICLE thats taxed , NOT the driver.
If you have 2 cars you have to tax both, so if you have a car and a bike you
should have to tax the car AND the bike. Got it?
Hope that helps.
You wish.
