No mate, it's H for Hitler.

Stuck in a coffee shop because it's pouring outside and they've contrived to put the worst possible music in rotation (basically the "greatest" hits of Michael Bolton with some Ricky Martin and Celine Dion mixed in)

Send her back home and rebuild Hadrian's wall and keep her up there. Annoying boot.

Fuming at your unneccessary use of an apostrophe.

People who don't pronounce H properly. Mainly southern England in fairness

1) There's no such thing as road tax. Many cars pay zero emissions duty so that's that point dead in the water.
2) I cycle every day, and have just started cycling through central London twice a day too. The cyclists are the least of the problems, the drivers are just appalling. Especially the taxis, who will just carve across lanes and stop on double yellows (or right over a cycle lane) without indicating.

No-one on the roads is perfect (does anyone drive like they did in their lessons?) but drivers need to remember that if they collide with a bicycle, there's only one winner. Yet it continues to happen, day after day.

Well mate
1. Where I live there is such thing as Road Tax. Also you need to pay for petrol which has jumped significantly in price. Cyclists on the other hand don't pay anything so can't expect ANY say whatsoever. Finally they are the biggest danger to pedestrians and vehicles period.
2) Central London is my least favourite place in the world so I'll leave it at that!

I'm a cyclist and I pay road tax. And buy petrol.
It may come as a shock to you, but some people do actually own both a car and a bicycle. So when I use my bicycle instead of my car, I now expect you and all other car drivers to give me a rebate for using a bicycle on the road that I pay tax for as I am causing less wear and tear than you who apparently only uses a car.

Well I'm a pedestrian and a former driver (it's too expensive and I don't need to drive anymore anyways) but cyclists are a danger to society.As a pedestrian they are more of a safety concern to me than vehicles. Bloody cyclists!

Well, after a 2 days of cycling through London I can tell you this. Everyone is awful. The drivers, the cyclists, the pedestrians. It's the old adage, 'a few idiots ruining it for everyone else'. I had to call an Addison Lee driver a sharp pointy thing last night after he sped past me then carve right in front of me and parked on a double yellow, with no indication at all. There's the pedestrians who blindly wander into the road without looking, and there's the jackass cyclists (usually cycle couriers) who blaze through red lights without hesitation.

No-one is free from sin here. So don't go pointing the finger at cyclists.

And I don't know where you live, but in the UK there is no such thing as road tax.

Considering the state of our roads, there bloody well SHOULD be a road tax. And it should be levied against ALL vehicles, motorised or otherwise, that use the road. No more of this tax determined by emissions nonsense thank you - zero emission cars still cause wear and tear to the road surface and still cause accidents. Therefore they should pay towards the funding of the roads.

And cyclists should be required to have insurance for third party risk, just like cars do.
