I'd be quite happy to pay a proportion of the £110 on the detailed above:-) So - What are we saying? % of size? 10%? % of polution - None. % of damage to the roads and other road users? Very little I should imagine - 1%? So, lets average it out 10+0+1+1/4 = 3 3% of £110 = £3.30. Yes, I'd be happy with £3.30 a year. As to having to be tested for safety every year - Do you mean the vehicle or the driver? If it's the former, again I agree. Cars have their brakes, emmisions, windscreen wipers, chassis, bodywork etc etc etc tested at a cost of, what? £45? Seeing as very little needs to be tested on a bike how about 3% of that as well? £1.35 then. How about we go for £5 for the tax and MOT? I could live with that as long as that then gives cyclists the right to use roads without being abused and threatened by car and van drivers.

Now, if you mean the driver needs to be tested to be safe. Yes - I will happily be tested every year to make sure I am safe as soon as all other drivers are:-)

Cheers

PS - It's all academic to me - I haven't been on my bike for about 3 years! ;-)
