£81 per bike, ouch
Its is, especially when you take into account the adverage annual mileage
I was only taxing my track bike for the odd few trips, and with the baby I won't be doing many miles on the road bike either :/
And don't forget when you buy your new bike you have to tax it straight away
At least we've all saved that £1 on 3 litres of fuel recently......
Bast*rds!
Perhaps WB should contact David Attenborough to see if he would like to make a programme about a species under the threat of extinction.
Road tax is a way of ensuring vehicles are insured and MOT'd, which is one of the reasons I believe for the recent change where tax cannot be transferred with the vehicle. For this reason I am happy to keep road tax, although given the tax breaks for low emission cars, I think it is too high on bikes. The vehicle has to be insured and MOT'd to be taxed, and Road Tax is very easy to monitor, if a vehicle is not SORN'd or taxed, they can automatically issue a fine and ANPR will pick up vehicles that are not taxed. It would not be so easy to monitor insurance and MOT's. If it helps to keep the number of uninsured vehicles on the road down than I am in favour of it.
