If a car producing 100g/km of CO pays no road tax then it is unfair to charge motorcycles considerably more when they have a significantly lower environmental impact.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-12-06T21:06:04.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:42.259Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:37:00.806Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-12-06T21:06:04.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
