The War on Britain's Roads (BBC Documentary / tabloid tv)

I'm really not sure how much further this programme gets us. My concern is that some viewers weighing up if swapping commuting from public transport to cycling is a sensible choice for them, may decide to stay on the train.

This was one of my concerns too. Even talking to my wife this morning about it she mentioned the same.

What it doesn't show as it is such dull viewing, is that it is perfectly possible to have hundreds of miles commuting with nothing remarkable happening at all.

This exactly. Again I could probably count on 1 hand how many incidents I have in a year. That's around 3,000 commuting miles. Granted I don't cycle in London all that much.

I do believe we are looking at peak car use in cities, what amazed me is the stats in the program saying the average speed of a car in the city is now down to 11mph. Why on earth anyone would use a car is beyond me.
