You are right about the road tax though, abolished in 1937, I doubt there's many that remember paying it and if there are I'd question whether they should still be on the road

The 'car tax' for small cars is £0. How much do you think cyclists should pay?

Use of Cycle lanes is not mandatory (nor is the use of pavements by pedestrians for that matter) especially those full of parked cars.
It's clear the car has misjudged crossing the main thoroughfare with that trailer thing attached.
