Crash tax for bikers.
 
Once more the government will try to introduce a scheme that will hit all bikers in the pockets. This time those total morons in charge will try to tax us more as we end up costing more to work on after an accident. How the hell they justify this is just beyond belief. I think the current government will not stop until biking is banned or just no fun at all. And then they go on to say "We want to make bikers more aware and to think before they act". In other words think before even wasting your money on thew new extended CBT which will be way too hard for most newbies, think before trying to pass the horrendous larger cc tests and think before they start charging bikers more as bikes are more hazardous. For Christ's sake what other idea's can they come up with purely to line their pockets? This is why we pay for NHS already so it should be covered. What about charging smokers or obese or old people as they are more likely to visit the doctors or hospital. It's just as ridiculous. We may as well all emigrate and let all the immigrants come over and drive around in uninsured vehicles with no licences, no tax or insurance and crash into everyone and not be punished or expected to foot the bill as is currently the trend.

Grrrr!

What on Earth gave that impression. It just riles me that they are trying to assume that ALL bikers crash and are the one's at fault. Most of my friends who crashed and my two crashes were due to muppet cage/lorry drivers.

Damn those ^&^&$^%^^%^(*($£!!

Have you been reading MCN ? I read that today to and thought what a load of rubbish.

Remember MCN = More Cr*p than News IMHO.

I don't crash very often, but I have been known to fall off now and then.

Hehehe.

Well in that case you can pay mine. :D

Yes it was MCN and I know it's like the SUN but still.........somebody somewhere still thought of that idea. Let's hope it gets treated with the contempt it deserves.
