bike tax petition
Im sure youve seen this petition doing the rounds about bringing bike tax in line with cars...
But whoever did it clearly doesn't know what theyre on about
An example of an economical car, a 1.0 toyota aygo kicks out between 99-108g/km of co2.
A modern 320 diesel bmw is 120g/km
Now compare this to the storm at 145g/km or a 2012 R1 at 165g/km, obviously if it was brought inline emissions wise we would be in for a fleecing..
Lets not shout too loudly about it ay

Re: bike tax petition
Been saying for years, road tax should be solely incorporated into fuel cost. The end.

I think that's the best idea really, though I begrudge any more rises in petrol prices. I still remember when it was less than £1 per litre
