yes mpv = motor powered vehicle.
as my mum said if they made the roads 20 effin mph it would not be worth having a car.
and i think she is right. with 20 mph many people would not bother to have a car. so less cars = less crashes = less deaths.
less debt cos it is £3-£4k a year to run car = less illegal drivers.
i suspect the elders will not give up their car. they keep driving just slower and safer please.
but it is the youngsters coming up that are the future of the community and they are the important ones to aim this policy at.
and with 20 mph they can get used to cycling in their teens and when they get to car driving age i reckon many of them will think no need for a car.
(whereas when me and my mates got to car drivng age a car was a must have).
so i think 20 mph has culture changing / defining potential.
that is what i reckon anyway.
