I Pay Road Tax - Jerseys + Armwarmers

I am worried about the rising trend in careless driving and phone use, yesterday in the space of ten minutes, I saw three instances of driver talking into mobiles whilst (badly) negotiating junctions/roundabouts.These were all HGV or large commercial vehicles.

that was just ten minutes of two hours, where I saw many more, but those 3 stuck because of the incredible cuntishness of it all.

We need to report them to their employers whenever possible.

Zero emissions? Surely everyone has an emission on their bike from time to time, particularly when its a bit cold? Thank fuck I don't wear beige....

Thank god there's a law enforcement unit that specifically tackles these offences…

…DOH!

I actually gave the thumbs up to a guy on my commute because he was pulled into a layby with the engine off for a phone call.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Could you actually use one of them on the road, if fitted with rubber tracks?

I don't think the design for the jersey works at all. The 'I pay road tax' bit is too small and subtle, that should be the main bit with a smaller tax disc. Yes it's technically called VED or whatever but if it's aimed at drivers you need to speak to them in a language the understand and VED sounds like something you'd get tested for at the clap clinic...

But yes it just seems smug and a bit aggravational really.

I'm with Jack on this one. To me it's antagonist and really only serves to increase any perception of cyclist as smug wankers.

Well, quinn you have a bicycle one, a free on is easily available if you google image it.

PS dont make them too good as you can be done for a fake disc.

wrong way round Hael.

oh sry

better?

perfect

I'm a student, I don't pay anything.

I don't pay excise duty on cigarettes because I don't smoke. Does this make me a bad person?

Rob Ainsley in his 'Real Cycling' blog takes Clive's very good line and runs with it... in a decent post that sums up much of the good stuff that's been said on this here thread

worth reading even if you're bored of this road tax nonsese. which I am. goodbye

hilarious! (the I don't pay road tax thing, rather than the article)

They'll have to be redesigned with a direct debit mandate form over a display of some sequel coding.

Classy
