Replace large cars with smaller ones and we get better air quality, and more space in which to weave through the standing traffic.
It doesn't reduce the number of cars, but it makes them smaller and less polluting. They'll still be stuck in traffic and angry at not being able to get out of 2nd gear.[/quote]
Except for the extra shit in the air during production of all these new cars, plus you have the added risk that now these muppets will be driving outside of London in cars they are less familiar with. I deal with enough cnuts during my training now without a bunch of 'G-Wizz on weekdays, wow look at me in my big car' on weekends types..
You are right about the city being nicer with less 4x4s. I'm all for the increased C-charge.. but there are other issues. Hopefully the plonkers with X5's will be so stretched on their mortgages they won't be able to afford the X5 AND the G-Wizz... that would be a beautiful thing :)[/quote]
I agree Hippy. I reckon a lot of these X5 twats can't really afford another car, but need the 'status symbol' that is a big 4x4.
Hopefully, £125 a week to pick up Poppy and Tarquin from school might get these blind, 30something women out of their Cayennes and into a car they can actually drive.
