Don’t give way to a bus

For 60 years I have paid vehicle tax, car insurance and VAT on top of duties paid on petrol, MoT, services, parts and labour in order to keep my cars on the road and for the privilege of driving.

So, why has a single bus got priority over 99 per cent of other road users? The flow of traffic is restricted and the bus lanes are often empty.

What would happen if everyone used the bus lanes and refused to pay the fines? they can’t put us all in jail!

P. WILSON, Hull, E. Yorks. it iS wrong to claim that cyclists do not contribute to our roads (Letters).

Local roads are paid for out of the council tax to which all householders contribute.

Only motorways are financed by the Government — and cyclists can’t use them.
