Apparently, Fiat 500 twin air car owners pay no road tax.........discuss
Well, they don't.
What's to discuss?
I think the Doctor knows about pedantic cyclist things, and is agreeing that they don't pay road tax, in exactly the same way that none of us do..............Technically it's Vehicle Excise Duty, not road tax. It's a pedantic cycling thing

I haven't seen the advert but my girlfriend used to drive one - it had a kind of pull thing to start it (like a lawnmower) and you could overtake buses if you were going downhill. Do they not pay road tax because of the size of the engine?
[edit] d'oh! Google says it's because of emissions.
[edit] d'oh! I just realised it's going to be one of those "no such thing as road tax" threads. Sorry, life's too short, I've got mushrooms to stuff, etc.

Slightly off topic, but ifroad taxVED is charged on CO2 emissions, why do I have to pay £53 per year for my 600cc motorbike? Emission values are not available for it, but as it does about 60mpg then the CO2 emissions can't be too high. Obviously only having 2 wheels and weighing less than 200kg means it doesn't cause so much wear and tear on the road, or take up much space. Even 50cc bikes doing 120mpg have to pay VED; 'snot fair!
Stop moaning, get a pedal bike !!
