@ Scott...respect is due and all, but actually i think that this is a highly valid thread that should stand on it's own, the fact that it may have been born as a reaction to "the car thread" is probably a good thing......there are probably loads of people too scared to post what they really think about cars over there for fear of being labelled a "hater" when in reality theres quite a lot of sense in being a hater of "car culture" if not the actual cars themselves..
Personally this thread has already made me question the use of my car and whether I use it too much.....I like to kid myself that I've got loads of green "credits" stacked up as in the 22 years I've been eilgible to drive I've only owned a car for three and driven less than 30k ....previously having only used public transport and my bike...however don't think global warming works like that does it? it's what we're doing NOW that matters.
I occasionally have to drive in London for work....why anyone would choose to do this as a method of personal transport is totally beyond me, unbelievably slow and frustrating, no wonder there's road rage and anger against cyclists.....it's almost understandable!
