Just imagine the gridlock. Indeed and the extra air pollution. -- Bod Perhaps we should reverse Nugents' idea and ban non essential motor vehicles. It has been long established on this group that motor taxes don't even cover the costs of motorway maintenance let alone the costs of the other roads motorists infest. I have nothing against cars but I do object to assumption that 'the roads are for cars'. Roads are for people, not machines. |

I am sorry to hear that not being able to read my posts would lead to your being depressed. You'd just have to try and get over it. You could of course resort to shouting at traffic or making *get off my lawn* signs for other whingers. I am only keen to maintain and improve road safety whilst maintaining mobility and convenience for the maximum proportion of the population and complying with the wishes and needs of another (theoretically seperate) maximum number. Really, though, one strongly suspects that the Venn diagram for those two maximum numbers will be very nearly a perfect circle. |

Just imagine the gridlock. Would none of them go by bus? Would none of them go by train / Underground? Would none of them go by taxi (which are already circulating on the streets)? Would none of them walk? Would none of them decide not to bother making the "journey"? If your answer to any of those is "yes", please explain your "working out" (if any). |

You write as if it were a driver in a car hurtling along that footway, bowling over that child on a bike, causing him those injuries, stopping momentarily then beetling off as fast as possible. But it was a cyclist on a bicycle. And he probably only stopped for a second to check ehether his front wheel was buckled in case he needed to demand the cost of repairs from the child's parents. And apparently, it's almost impossible to cause injury with a bike (or so we have often been told). |

We all see it done every time we go anywhere. |
