Bicycles arn't road vehicles.


Of course they are.


No they're not. They're just 2 wheels and a frame. Wheres the engine?


Sat on the saddle, usually. Or maybe standing up on the pedals on a steep
hill.


Really? Well then if any means of locomotion using made made objects is
considered a vehicle then you'd better start campaigning for roller
skates to be
licensed. But hey , why stop at anything with wheels, why should they
have
the monopoly on defining a vehicle - shoes are man made too.
Perhaps ever new pair of Nikes should be registered with the DVLA!

Good luck trying to drive a car around a park


I wonder HOW those park rangers manage? D'you think it's because they're
*allowed to*?


Since when is a park ranger an average member of the public? Anyway ,
this is
a pointless argument. A bicycle is not a vehicle as you plainly know. I
can't tell
if you're just being devils advocate or really are as daft as you come
across.

Might as well just not bother registering your car to your name, eh?
Perhaps even use somebody elses plates - or just take 'em off completely.


Plenty of people do thanks to the proliferation of speed cameras. Have
you
just parachuted in from the 70s or something?
