As I keep saying though, they are only killing their own kind.

No they are also responsible for killing innocent people who do not
use cars.

Each of you has a couple of screws loose: warped minds.

Those people have the choice to use off road routes such as through
parks, fields, river banks and the like to avoid traffic fumes.
Get a map and be creative, I have just had a two hour walk to Waitrose
and back and it was 90% off road using ancient public rights of way.

A 2 hour walk to the supermarket? Wossamatta, your pushbike broken from
being hit when going through a red light or are you just a complete tw@t?

Check your maths. From what he wrote, I calculated that it was a one
hour walk to the supermarket.

Traffic pollution is not only confined to roads and what about people
with prams shopping in built-up areas? You cannot avoid these deadly
gases, for which nobody seems to be held to account. Presumably the
lesson learned here is that pragmatism always takes precedence over
human safety.

Although motorists are much worse than smokers, they are allowed to
poison us willy nilly without even a health warning on their vehicles.
I can just about accept that a lorry delivering my essentials has some
justification for poisoning me but individual motorists never, with
the possible exception of those who are essential to the general
infrastructure and have no other way of getting around while serving
the common good.

Who gives a ****. Only an idiot like Mason would walk that far to a
supermarket.

Who would be a bigger idiot:
- person who spends 1 hour walking to the supermarket and 1 hour
walking back; or,
- person who spends 2 hours on a treadmill in a gym, and pays for the
privilege?

That would depend on whether the supermarket-tripper had denied himself the
possibility of bringing back everything he needed, even if it was far too
heavy and bulky to be carried safely and securely on foot.

Having to go to a supermarket three miles or so away for only a few items max
sounds rather like lack of planning.
