Signed, but like everything else I've signed it's just something else for them to ignore

It's not coming into affect, someone mis-read the budget report, it isn't happening, the duty's staying static until 2009 then increasing in line with inflation.

I thought the same thing, but it isn't happening.

Well i hope thats the case, although I still think we pay over the odds in comparison to the cars.
Using their own green arguments, we use less petrol, cause no congestion, and have a lower CO2 output.
If low emission cars can be exempt why not bikes?

Takes up less road space, so helps ease congestion though.
