There wouldn't be more rider awareness and less jams either, there'd just be a lot more people riding their Vespas around on a CBT and having accidents.
Not entirely fair. If you did abolish road tax for bikes there would be fewer cars going around with a single person in them, much more rider awareness and fewer traffic jams. There is some logic there. Of course it probably wouldn't work and the price of fuel would go up but I'm all for paying per mile. The more you use the road, the more you should pay.

That depends on how much the price of fuel goes up. Maybe you're right. I'm too bleh to argue.
