I think you are correct regarding what is causing more road damage, and also right that the road tax collected probably doesn"t hit the road!I wouldn"t mention it to the road minister at gov hq though, he might come up with the idea of charging you for the car! I admire cyclists who cycle in a city and obey the road rules, we all know there"s enough useless car drivers out there , but try crossing Borough high street south of London bridge at 5.30pm , and a different type of cyclist appears. Thats the lycra clad, helmet cam, chaps, head down, trying to make it to Putney or Wimbledon village in record time, oblivious to pedestrians trying to cross the road, we need better policing on the dangerous cyclist/car driving folk.

Why would I need insurance?

I think the benefit of cost and health outweight the danger of being vulnerable on the road.

If your in your car you have protection until their is a heavy downpour and your car gets taken for a ride.

That's the downside from global warming I suppose

Maybe car and van drivers should have to do a cycle test around London to see what it is like to be a vulnerable cyclist in London?

Why not see both sides of the coin

cyclists my way travel in packs at the weekend, sometimes 3-a-breast on windy country roads, blissfully ignorant of the huge tail-back of traffic they are causing.
Cycling may reduce the rider's carbon footprint, but they cause others to pollute far more.,,in my limited experience

I disengage, I turn the page.

No one has paid road tax since the 30's

Good luck regulating the millions of under 16 wheelie kids who use the roads.

Regulating bicycles is a bit like regulating mp3's.

The mountains are calling & I must go.
