Petition to scrap tax for bikes

[Grubby]

https://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/36449
Well if you think about it why is it that a car can be zero tax & a bike is £120 a year? Really not fair that a guy with a 3 series BMW gets to drive along taking up loads more road than me, can't filter, & needs more space to park when he eventually gets to work gets his car on the road for nowt.
Come on people sign this petition

Where can I buy one of these 3 series BMWs that requires no road tax? Road tax is based largely on exhaust emissions, the lower the level the lower the tax which brings electric cars and some hybrids into a zero or low tax category, electric motorcycles are also zero tax.

850cc car = o tax 850 cc bike = £45 tax ?
if they got rid of tax on bikes it would encourage people to uses bikes and scooters instead of cars .. thats why there ought to be a petition .... Reaaly show how little space we take up on the roads, how many more bikes you could get into the same parking spaces ......
Yesw the system in other parts of Europe is even more crap but thats up to them to fix ...

There are a few arguments in favour of powered two wheelers. Probably the most significant is that we finish our journeys faster, and therefore spend less time taking up pieces of road. That's why filtering benefits car drivers as well, not that they'll ever see us as anything but queue jumping bastards.

Pointless petition is pointless though, for reasons that I've gone into several times. It needs MCN, MAG and at least one ecomental mob behind it to be politically significant.

fed up of these e petitions

Spastics think that if it gets the limit, it will happen, no, it will get about 5 mins to be debated at and laughed out of the building.

I tend to get low fuel economy on bikes whatever; I'm not too bad on cars - managed to average 34mpg getting to Santapod in my M3 and 17mpg for the whole trip (which included a day's drifting). Can get 43mpg or so out of the vito sitting behind trucks.

Bikes; TRX850, SV650, tuned ZX9, GSXR1000, RS250, KTM690 - won't even go in to the competition enduro bikes!

Pretty sure BMW 320D's are close to tax exempt, or £35 a year.

and 34mpg out of an m3 to santa pod? it's about 20miles from me and I'd be lucky to get 23mpg in my 330

From reading, so a good way - sat on the motorway with 75 on the clocks.

Average on the mpg meter was 22 over the time I had it - and that included driving 'good' in traffic (and the opposite when in traffic, generally.)

E36 seems to much better on fuel than the E9x M3, despite that they only manage the same claimed hp/cc (which is actually down from the E46.)
