| >Nothing to do with earnings or financial underclass. You keep saying they don't pay their way, but roads are paid for out of general taxation and council tax. My point is they may pay MUCH more tax than you do! >How many of them had insurance, Don't know, some I imagine. I have insurance for my bike it's £8 a month, plus I have public liability insurance via my household insurance, which explicitly excludes public liability when driving or riding a motor vehicle or piloting a boat. >How many of them had mot? None, only motor vehicles require an MOT Certificate, and then, not all of them. >Obeyed all traffic regulations.? Some do, some don't. I saw at least 10 drivers on their mobile phones on the way in and many others jumping lights or otherwise breaking the law, speeding for instance. No doubt you will say all of them, which will be in a minority. >They can’t be traced anyway I've seen plenty of people on bikes pulled up by police for various things. >as have no registration. Yup, only motor vehicles require a registration, although one of my bikes DOES have a registration, and all the lime bikes I see have a unique number on them. >Want more road space than anyone too No, I think they want a fair share and to not feel like they could be killed any second. |
