You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record programmes as they're being shown on TV or live on an online TV service. This is the case whether you use a TV, computer, tablet, mobile phone, games console, digital box, DVD/VHS recorder or any other device.

Re: Abolish road tax for motocycles
As far as I'm aware not paying for a TV lience is a criminal offence and therefore would land you a criminal record and if fines are not paid could ultimately see you in prison. If they can prove your watching broadcast television. A television on its own does not need a license. I know a few peopl...

Re: Abolish road tax for motocycles
why do you get a TV licence ? There is no way of detecting if you have a TV or what you use it for , I have not had a TV licence - ever .

Re: Abolish road tax for motocycles
I pay more for my bike than my car, the car has to be causing more damage on the road in all ways, the whole thing is a bloody con, just like the bill for my tv licence.... Bloody rip off.

Re: Abolish road tax for motocycles
There's no such thing as road tax.
That said, I don't mind paying VED for my bike. It's a tiny cost of running a bike.
Does that petition take into account the 2017 rules on vehicle excise duty?

Re: Guy Martin sitting out 2016 TT
His road racing career is pretty much done I suspect. As usual too many things going on and not enough focus on any of them.
Sad, but I won't miss him really.
