Road rage

Some people should not ever be allowed a driving licence. Incidents like this should mean an instant 5 year ban, they are not safe at the wheel.

But the different shape of the bikes means it doesn't carry so well on to the road bike IMO.

Re: Slappers Go East Sunday 12th July

... the A47 and BOOM, the heavens seemed to open and empty themselves into our leathers. Onto the B6047 which can be quite an enjoyable and technical road.

Re: Budget tax increases

The new road tax is only relevant to new cars registered from April 2017.

I've tried to find any relevant information for bikes but not found it yet.

And yes every insurance premium you pay out will rise but at least 3.5% from November.

Re: Budget tax increases

I don't understand the car tax part? So if your paying 20 or 30quid road tax now in a couple of years the lowests emissioned cars will be forking out £140 quid per year in road tax!? And I also took a quick look and the insurance premium tax is going up too...so insurance prices will rise, great!

Budget tax increases

... with separate tax and NIC rates and just have one rate of charge for both. Equally new cars registered next year will have to pay £140 per annum road tax and if the car costs more than £40k new then you will have to pay an extra £310 road tax per annum for 5 years. Think its all a sign of what ...
