Ok, please don't laugh & take the Michael out of me for this.
But I was having a conversation with my mate about whether or not a Hovercraft would have to pay road tax?
He said it would, but I said "That doesn't make sense". Think about it, It hovers above the road, so it isn't really using the road (technicaly it isn't). He said it doesn't matter because it's following the road. I went on to say, If a helicopter flys 100ft above the road & follows it exactly, then would It have to pay road tax? I think not!
So can anyone answer this seemingly stupid question?

I would seriously take a hovercraft to work every day if it saved me that much money Head on winds on the motorway could makes things interesting though 
What's the going rate for a single seater hovercraft & how much to insure them?
Hovercrafts, or levitatecrafts () are the way forward

Want to go halfers on one Paul? You buy it, I'll drive it
I could have found out at lunchtime, seeing as I was near the post office. I wonder if they would know?

Croosh - get back where you belong and quit the stoopid questions. If Mishter Brown discovered that 'copters were flying above roads I am quite sure a tax disc would become mandatory in about 30 seconds
