    I listened to a long interview with one of the toll bridge directors regarding the changes from August and there wasn't one mention of motor bikes, like bikes don't exist:mad:
    I tried ringing the radio station but couldn't get through.

    Bikes will be exempt from tolls. The draft toll scheme is here (PDF file).
    SCHEDULE B

    Classes of Vehicles and Road Users Exempt from Tolls

    (1) Motor Cycles

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Probably because motorcyclists will be driving too fast for the detection systems to work properly :p

    Just kidding. ;)
