Restaurant damaged by car.

I am glad that the motorists on these newsgroups have finally accepted
that cars are much more destructive and dangerous than bicycles.

Maybe motorists are looking to go into the demolition business
judging by how many buildings they are trying to demolish these days.
The latest example is here...

"Denby Pottery restaurant crash driver released

No-one was in the restaurant at the time

An 18-year-old, who was arrested after the car he was driving crashed
into the restaurant at Denby Pottery, has been released on bail..."

Indeed.

Some years ago I pointed out that a bike could not cause the amount
of damage is shown in the photograph. Since then I have been mildly
amused by the howls of protest from the unacceptable face of
motoring.

You senile old tit. Nobody has ever said that a bike would cause more damage
than a car.
They have said that bikes can cause serious injury when they hit a person.

Maybe motorists are looking to go into the demolition business
judging by how many buildings they are trying to demolish these days.

We should make it illegal to do this.

The latest example is here...

"Denby Pottery restaurant crash driver released

No-one was in the restaurant at the time

An 18-year-old, who was arrested after the car he was driving crashed
into the restaurant at Denby Pottery, has been released on bail..."

Oh look , it *is* illegal

How many less tonnes of carbon dioxide have been produced because of
Americans driving hybrid Toyota and Lexus cars?

Stephen Bagwell gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying:

How many less tonnes of carbon dioxide have been produced because of

Compared to what?

(Total non-sequitur ignored for the moment)

I wonder if you can post a link substantiating your claim that someone,
anyone, has actually said that cars are not much more destructive and
dangerous than bicycles?

None.

Where do people think the electricity comes from???
Also - where do they think the car comes from???
The answer to both of these is 'a factory that puts out lots of nasty black
smoke'.
