Road fund licence is a licence to use a motorised vehicle on the road when that vehicle emits a certain amount of CO2.

If they start taxing methane emmisions I suppose some cyclists will become eligible...

If that is genuinely the case, abolish VED and stick it on the cost of fuel. That way you pay for what you actually use. Then its linked directly to emissions, real world fuel use and actual road use.

i think the problem is that a significant proportion of the 5million or so people who watch top gear are dim enough to take on board what he says and then use it as ammunition on the jeremy vine phone in/justify themselves cutting up cyclists on the road

Change the channel, take a deep breath, pour yourself a drink........and relax. He just does it to wind folk up. That's what he's paid for.

I follow kimbers line of view on this brand of humour.

Just remember how thick the average person is - and half the folk are more stupid than that.

I dislike Top Gear, but watch it. I like some bits, and not others. I'd need to be pretty damn quick with the remote to edit out the bits I personally don't like. I think it is getting very drawn out.

This road tax debating is a waste of your life. Much like I'm wasting mine even bothering to comment on this damn forum.......

Cyclists do pay 'road tax' (or whatever you want to call it) if they own a car. Just like motorists are also pedestrians.
