I expect you've all seen this. Driver tweets about a collision.

So I cannot say that is untrue without calling you a liar rather than simply mistaken? Interesting ...

...bonkers more like.

And if Touche disagrees he is lying as I have said it

Its gone MENTAL i tell thee... I wonder what she is thinking now, that said anyone who does a runner from a RTA and then tweets about it kinda has to be thick.

The charming young lady also stated in an earlier tweet that she a firm called "Larking Gowen" who have been emailed about their views on the matter and do not seem to appreciate the attention.

Nonsense. I'm not talking about experience - I'm talking about facts. He's not a liar - he's just wrong. I thought perhaps, with it being the 21st century 'n' all, we could move on from anecdotal "evidence" about women drivers.

Anecdotes or unreliable government statistics. It's as bit of toss-up, is it not..

The SKY reporter actually understands and clearly explains about "road tax". I'm staggered.

Great ! That is something of a victory for the IPayRoadTax.com website in my opinion, for their line to be explained and accepted as common-sense and fact. Excellent and well done them !

Worth remembering when she sent those tweets she had no idea whether she had killed another human being.

[QUOTE 2464775, member: 30090"]The driver according to the article is a trainee accountant who works for a firm in East Anglia. Might it be appropriate for a quick phone call to the ICAEW regarding one of their registered companies and a particular student member that it employs I wonder...?[/quote]

This made me laugh from their facebook page

Have you got any advice for cyclists who feel that they are not paying enough "Road Tax" (whatever that may be)?

BBC have the story up now from the cyclists point of view:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-22602141

check out the sideline section, they wrote this themselves:

The so-called 'Road Tax'

The comment on Twitter suggested Toby Hockley, as a cyclist, does not pay "road tax".
A road tax does not exist in the UK but the term is commonly and incorrectly used to refer to the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or "car tax" paid on most motorised vehicles as a tax on emissions.
Roads are funded by all UK taxpayers under general and local taxes.

There's certainly an element of toss about it...

Stupid bint...hope she is prosecuted

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

seems to be a nice rounded road user..... bet she did not pull over to take that picture with her smart phone either.

Well, she's already being persecuted, she may as well get prosecuted too

 

[glenn forger]

I hope she turns the tap on at work and the water spray hits an up-turned spoon and splashes water on the front of her beige slacks so it looks like she's pissed herself.
