Public opinions count. Not.

someone mentioned earlier that there are 10 mil people unemployed, this does seem a bit high but the whole point is if half of these people worked and actually helped the economy the government would save £300 mil each week, which could be used to save money on road tax

Hi

To an extent true. However most bikes travel far few miles, and plenty of people with bikes have more than 1. Also the mileage people do is all over the place. On average bike would be better off. And those who do more miles than average would get screwed over either way.

Suspect with ~12k a year car average and ~40mpg average it would be about 10p a litre on fuel.

However it would not move people onto using roads at more emptier times.

Vote BNP in the next general election, and get rid of these money grabbing greedy bastards.
Alternatively, organise a revolution against road pricing/taxation etc. It worked to get rid of the poll tax.
Or storm parliament, and lynch the bastards who impose these stealth taxes.
They've even made themselves exempt from the freedom of information bill, so we cant see that they DON'T pay road tolls/congestion charges etc. Bunch of fekking crooked bastards.
I wish the IRA was still active to plant a big f**k off bomb at the next Labour conference. Wipe them all out, YAY

One thing people seem to forget, is that we in Britian, pay more in tax than most other countries in the world, not just Europe. But so much money is spent on bureaucracy, and not on the things it is intended to fund. For instance, they still charge a RFT on vehicles, but there is actually a freeze on building new roads. And most bikers know that the money is not spent on repairs like it should be, judging by the amount of pot holes, manhole covers we swerv to avoid.
When was the last time you saw a stretch of road being resurfaced because of potholes etc?
They just repair the holes with sub standard materials. The roads in this country are becoming increasingly worse because of contractors digging them up to lay pipes/cables etc, and not being filled in correctly.
Even motorways aren't as good as they should be.
I would guess that about 3 quarters of the price of a gallon of fuel is tax, so why should we have to pay more?
I would not mind if the money was invested in greener technology, or improving the infrastructure. But instead, the money is used to fight pointless wars, where lots of lives are pointlessly lost at the cost of WORLD DOMINATION.
So send these bastards a message they cant ignore, and don't vote for them, or the conservatives, or liberals for that matter.
Do something bold and vote BNP in the next election, and put an end to this governments complacency when it comes to WASTING OUR MONEY.
Read the BNP manifesto on there website www.bnp.org.uk
They are not the racist thugs that so many would have us believe. But they are firm believers in patriotism, as i am too. We should not be scared to be proud to be British.

Hi

True, but it is a direct tax on the actual fuel used. Possible to seperate it from the amount of distance travelled and tax that seperatly, but that adds a massive expense to the tax collection and is intrusive.

While pollution is pretty much independent of fuel consumption (although some people regard CO2 emissions as pollution, and they are pretty much directly proportional to fuel used), a very large part of the pollution from a vehicle is caused by making it in the first place. So running older vehicles which pollute more per mile can quite easily be less polluting overall compared to buying a new car.

All the best

Keith

Hmmmm. Or like when they found that a Hybrid car does more damage to the environment because of the eventual disposal of the acid from the onboard batteries, and the larger amount of plastic used in the composite bodywork.
