how much does the $200 cover of the cost of the infrastructure required to have this registration system? I assume OP doesn't think the people who issue his licence deserve to be paid, nor the IT, nor the mail person, etc. his proposed $10 registration for bike would bring negative revenue.
Reminds me of how I once got a parking ticket because I forgot to add an hour downtown... And the fine was TWENTY DOLLARS. I actually wrote to my councillor to explain that the fine should be an order of magnitude higher because that doesn't even cover the cost of the meter reader.
yeah. someone on my street parked illegally blocking a pedestrian crossing. Got a ticket on the Saturday morning, by the Tuesday they hadn't moved (long week-end). so they ended up getting cheap convenient parking ($25 i think), while people with mobility devices were screwed the whole time.
