• Being a keen cyclist for many years watching this talk on TED even managed to change my attitude towards cars on the roads - simply: the roads are for the people not for cars; cars cause so much death,destruction and pollution requiring so much control to protect other road users damn right they should pay tax!

    But hey, what about a new fresh movement to promote a safer street for everyone. And what if this movement was just simply a logo - anyone seeing the logo starting to appear would eventually find thier way to a site promoting safer streets.

    And how about car tax renewals showing the number of people killed by cars, the amount of money spent on traffic calming and control, the amount of money spent on tackling pollution etc - might be hard to disagree with vehicle tax, or at least the need for it over other forms of transport.

    Failing that the last guy that got out of his van to shout at me eventually got told to fuck off and get back in his van - it worked well although I'm not sure it really promoted our cause very well.

    True that Gebraffe, but unfortunately unless public transport improves I need a tin on 4 wheels to get my son to school and back. I don't however feel I own the road just because...that's not how it works.

    It would be nice however if people would feel a bit less privileged/I own the road COS I have a car. For everybody including other drivers... ;)
