Re: How Can We Slow Down Cars In Built Up Areas?
 

Not possible Panther. It would just make an assault course for the morons in their souped up batmobiles & Novas. Also height of bumps restricted by law to 100mm (thats 4" for non eurocrats, sorry that that doesn't suit you Garinda!!!Lol)
As for cars vs bikes: there are always those who will abuse both, however those who have experience on two wheels are more alert & aware that idiots exist around us & what manic driving standards to expect from them when spotted. This is when experience + power can prevent an accident than cause one. Some what like those car drivers in flat caps with 90bhp on tap doing 55 in the middle lane of the motorway with a queue behind them backing down to Cornwall Grrrr.
Women drivers: Nothing against them, they are just like any other normal phsycopath.
Like my mother in law, provisional licence holder for forty years & never passed her test & never had an accident-but she has seen thousands!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a good job they start at 04:30 - it would take over an hour to get me to Preston on a tram :D. When I get to Preston how do I get the 4 miles to work? walk?

Re: How Can We Slow Down Cars In Built Up Areas?
 

Got to have trams in Preston, or buses or donkeys...or summat..

I take your point though....We have become dependent on our cars, and anything else is not satisfactory. It's like saying people should walk to work or ride a bike. I use to live in the country 45 miles from my workplace, and there were no buses at all and no trains. So you just had to have a car!

Plenty of donkeys at work :D

I live 54 miles from work. If I get the first train out of accy I get to work ~11 am. it would cost me £14 a day(plus a taxi for 3 miles at the far end).

Buses don't get any better.

In my car I leave home at just after 6, I'm there by 7 leave at 4 home just after 5, cost in fuel? £6.50
