What about Bicycles then ?

Or them invalid scooters (they can even go on pavements yet bikes cant)



I thought you Country types would enjoy horses

I was having a joke with you,if you can`t take it ,fair enough.

All UK taxpayers pay for the 'upkeep' of the roads, not just motorised vehicle drivers. 'Road fund license' which I assume you are referring to is a misnomer, it is Vehicle Excise Duty & does NOT directly pay for road maintenance. Funding is from grants from central government & from council tax locally.
Everyone has equal right to use the road whether that be a car, van, bike or horse.
And as a final note from me, if a horse cr'ps on the road, walk around it, simplez

In defense of cyclists they do tend to leave less poo on the road though!

Not usually NO!

it is not what I think, what I stated is a fact! look it up for yourself if you are in any doubt. As for your comment re ignorance by cyclists & horse riders, I think you'll find we(cyclingfor me & horse riding for the Mrs.) try to get from A-B as safely as possible and try to avoid the 1-2 ton metal boxes that don't leave us enough space or try bully us out of the way. Ignorance is rarely a factor when cycling/horse riding on the roads, you wouldn't live very long otherwise!
In fact it is quite the opposite, car drivers invariably do not know/remember the rules of the road, are impatient, inconsiderate & on average lack skill, awareness & forward planning ability. Hence why it is a FACT that well over 200,000+ accidents per year are caused by car/van/bus/lorry users in the UK every year!
Around 5,000 cyclists are seriously injured or killed each year by motor vehicles, do you know how many car drivers were killed by cyclists in the same collisions?? Let me put it this way you could count them on one hand (unless you're from the east of the city of course)

Far from me to have a go but it is people like you who spout the 'car/road tax' dribble and think anything that doesn't pay it isn't entitled to be on the road. what about cars that aren't taxed at all???
'nuff said

Some sensible points on this thread about so called "road tax"- but the rest seemed to be just a load of horsesh*t.

Naaaaaaay

Difference is, cars that aren't taxed at all are either exempt because they are ancient so hardly use them, or breaking the law.

It's idiotic to compare collisions with cars and collisions with cyclists, how many accidents have been CAUSED by cyclists but not resulted in any cyclist getting hurt, nobody knows, because it doesn't get recorded.

THERE IS NO NEED TO RIDE A HORSE ON THE ROAD.

Do you know, along with checking what a horse fart smells like, it's something I haven't researched.
