Don't hate them, but,
Could anyone tell me if their views on how bright bicycle lights can be? or is it a free for all?
I was driving home in the hours of darkness and was virtually blinded by a bike coming towards me, using a cycle path.
Now I want it both ways. Should it not be compulsory, if there is a cycle path for bikes to use them? Near where I stay the council(Tax payers) has spent thousands £s building a cycle path/foot path but cyclists still use the, at times, very busy road. My friend is one of them and says he'd rather dice with traffic than dodge joggers and dog walkers!!

Not all are knobs but 95% are n what ****** me off the most is the dont pay road tax but expect all the same as us paid road users
And no insurance or plate, few months back one took my wing mirror off flying past as I’m stuck in traffic in town and took off no way of catching her,luckily it was a company van. But how do you make them pay for it or am I expected to take the hit on my insurance,And the fact they want you to treat them as a car by leaving room yet they will fly through a red light, can’t have it both ways. espically in London them bikers are crazy.
Don’t get me wrong probably 80% aren’t knobs who think they own the road, same can be said about drivers too

No such thing as road tax mate... you don’t pay any either.
I do agree that they should have a plate and insurance though.

So what do i pay every month 2 dvla loool?? N im glad im not the only 1 who isnt very keen on them
You pay based on emissions of the car , that is why electrics cars are free. Road tax stopped in 1937..

Vehicle Excise Duty. It’s got nothing to do with the roads and plenty of drivers with zero emissions cars pay nothing.
