Start charging a set road tax and insurance for bicycles
A charge of road tax and insurance needs to start being applied for bicycles
Myself as a driver doesn’t see the fairness in not charging Bicycles road tax or insurance many accidents are caused by these bicycles riding on our roads which is making insurance premiums go up. I pay £310 road tax a year followed by a further £1231 car insurance why can’t there be a charge for these bicycles also a set fee so they can ride on the roads myself and a lot of other people don’t agree they can ride our roads free of charge!!! road tax was for repairs to roads for car users bikes are definitely taking over our roads and causing more accidents
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There is not a road tax in the UK. Vehicle excise duty needs to be paid in respect of certain vehicles, and there is also an HGV Road User Levy for vehicles weighing 12 tonnes or over, but these are taxes on motor vehicles, rather than road use.
If you want cyclists to be required to pay vehicle excise duty we could accept a petition requesting this.
We have already published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Require all cyclists to have third party liability insurance: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/553542
Ensure all bicycles and cyclists are registered, traceable and insured: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/553916
We also couldn't accept a petition that contained unsubstantiated statements about cyclists causing more accidens on the roads.
