The funny thing is that it was repealed in 1936, it is just that many people don't even know that we <strong>all</strong> pay for the roads, not just drivers. </p> <p>What is really clear and also very sad, is that there is such a poor understanding of the nature of civil society and the concept of individual responsibility. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1012#post-9281 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:56:54 +0000 spytfyre 9281@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>repeal the law on illegal downloading... it's just so... so... <em><strong>useful</strong></em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1012#post-9279 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:34:34 +0000 cb 9279@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Nick Clegg has asked the public for their suggestions on which laws should be removed or changed because they restrict civil liberties."</p> <p>"[Requests from cyclists] include VAT exemption for bicycles and raising the speed limit on electric bicycles."</p> <p>Those are hardly civil liberty restricting.<br /> (although I predict people asking for the general speed limit to be raised on those grounds). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1012#post-9276 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:12:02 +0000 chdot 9276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bikebiz.com/news/32450/Clegg-receives-request-to-cull-law-stopping-cyclists-o-nparks-and-pavements" rel="nofollow">http://www.bikebiz.com/news/32450/Clegg-receives-request-to-cull-law-stopping-cyclists-o-nparks-and-pavements</a></p> <p>Suppose it balances the call for lifting of drink/drive restraints. </p>
