"If you want to ride in the middle of the road pay road tax!"

That's a crap idea think how many people that would put off or price out of the Market.

What about insisting pedestrians have insurance?

Eh? It's not a terrible idea, it's required in Florida to have it attached to your car insurance and it means that when you are hit by an uninsured motorist you aren't screwed! I thought about the pedestrians thing, too. I dunno, it doesn't seem like a bad idea, but it would have to be easy to get and not expensive. But what would the benefits be to people in the UK? Don't know, as you can sue motorists and you can get any injuries sorted out on the NHS. I guess maybe for instances like Dammit where he has tooth damage but the NHS won't pay for it. However, I dont remember the specifics of his injuries (whose fault it was).
