So called 'Road Tax'

I'm 17 and just about to take my driving test. A few of my friends have recently passed and are constantly moaning about cyclists riding 2 abreast - when its perfectly legal and using the road in general. Today I saw a post on Facebook calling all cyclists c***s for using the road without paying 'road tax'.
  Here's the thing that to me; firstly the person in question is a spoilt brat whom gets his insurance, car, petrol and tax paid for by his mummy. Secondly the term 'road tax' in general. No-one pays it. If you drive, you pay vehicle excise duty (VED). This basically taxes you as a car owner for owning a car. It does not give you the right to the road. After a little research I found that, roads are maintained with money from general taxation, which every single person old enough/earning enough pays.  Cyclists are just as worthy to the road as you are, now get off your lazy arse and do some exercise and save the polar bears.
   If you want to moan about vehicles other than cars using the road , moan about horse riders. I rode a few miles today to test out a new saddle/stem positioning on my road bike and the road was covered in shite. Next time I go for a ride and feel the sudden urge, I'm going to shit right there.

Rant over - Ryan.
