It's all good, man
Using that logic, bicycles must be sheep.Has engine, ridden by middle aged men in leather. Close enough.

Doesn't particularly annoy me - sorry. I remain pleased that anti-car propaganda has meant that you use one of these tricycles instead of a car.Not quite. It is a three wheeled motorcycle-rated vehicle that car drivers can ride without a licence, but bitter envious people without either a car or bike licence cannot. It has the added advantage (like all types of motorcycles) of seemly piss off the anti-car Taliban brigade, as most of their arguments against the evil motor vehicle fall flat when applied to proper internal combustion engined bikes.
And I am sorry if I further annoy you, maomao and anyone else who (rightly) points out it is not a motorcycle, that it still enjoys full motorcycle privileges such as bus lane use, reduced vehicle excise duty fees, and free motorcycle parking. But hey, perhaps the two of you can start writing letters to the government and all the local authorities to protest about that, and who knows, you may suceed in having such privileges removed from my three-wheeled not-a-fucking-motorcycle vehicle
I will be delighted to be able to replace my current internal combustion engined tricyle with an electric one, actually. The acceleration of electric vehicles in general is astounding, I would imagine even more so on bikes & trikes.Doesn't particularly annoy me - sorry.

Hopefully all internal combustion vehicles will be gone quite soon, and you will have to replace it with an electric tricycle.
They're all but silent, too, which should make for some excellent fun scaring cyclists.I will be delighted to be able to replace my current internal combustion engined tricyle with an electric one, actually.

Good job we've seen sense and converted loads of that green shit into parking spaces.AwOOOga!
At 8.45 on Talking Pictures TV there's a look at the trials and tribulations of drivers trying to find a parking space, back in the '60s. The title is "Prison on Wheels".
Like I said, it's exactly what jealous cyclists want.

As if to prove my pointHaha - are you joking? Jealous of that ridiculous waste of money?
Surely illegal noise levels as well.
Do you have a link to this study? I'd like to read it.In Rutger Bregman’s Humankind, he writes about a study by Dacher Keltner (a psychologist who studies the now-discredited Machiavellian ideas on political philosophy).
In the study, he looked at "the psychological effect of an expensive car":
"Here, the first set of subjects were put behind the wheel of a beat-up Mitsubishi or Ford Pinto and sent in the direction of a crosswalk where a pedestrian was just stepping off the kerb. All the drivers stopped as the law required.
But then in part two of the study, subjects got to drive a snazzy Mercedes. This time 45% failed to stop for the pedestrian. In fact, the more expensive the car, the ruder the road manners. 'BMW drivers were the worst', one of the researchers told the New York Times. (This study has now been replicated twice with similar results.
Observing how the drivers behaved, Keltner eventually realised what it reminded him of. The medical term is 'acquired sociopathy': a non-hereditary antisocial personality disordered, first diagnosed by psychologists in the nineteenth century. It arises after a blow to the head that damages key regions of the brain and can turn the nicest people in the world into the worst kind of Machievellian."
so driving an expensive car turns you into a psychocunt. Well I never.
It's what Saul Goodman is jealous of.Haha - are you joking? Jealous of that ridiculous waste of money?
Surely illegal noise levels as well.
Have you seen my car?It's what Saul Goodman is jealous of.
In case you're not up to speed with the thread - he can't afford a supercar so drives a relatively cheap motorbike around irish country lanes at 200mph instead to vent the frustration.
Kentner writes about it in pages 4-49 of this book:Do you have a link to this study? I'd like to read it.
Thanks, but that doesn't appear to say the same thing your previous post is suggesting. His study appears to suggest that rich people tend to be cunts, not that putting people into expensive cars turns people into cunts. It's a subtle but important difference, although entirely predictable.Kentner writes about it in pages 4-49 of this book:

you've read the headline, not the actual study thenThanks, but that doesn't appear to say the same thing your previous post is suggesting.

Does that help them stick to the 20mph speed limit and stay on the correct side of the road?A mk1 Mazda 3, that model is 17 years old. Hopefully their next car will be a newer one with object detection and autobraking.

Does that help them stick to the 30mph speed limit and stay on the correct side of the road?
How about GPS speed limit capping if drivers are so poor they need help?Intelligent speed assist and lane keep aid certainly would, but apparently modern cars are big bad monstrosities compared to older ones.
One of us hasn't read it but it isn't me.you've read the headline, not the actual study then
No, that's what's known as a fallacy of conflation.Surely the correlation’s that cunts like expensive cars.

You look like that Jeremy Clarkson fella.
so you must have read the method section then? "Upper class drivers" were those percieved to be by the coders conducting the field study - they could only guess at their socal class by observing the status of the type of car they were drivingOne of us hasn't read it but it isn't me.
Or we could reduce car usage and place restrictions on them!Compared to the other safety features I’ve mentioned, that one wouldn’t
have prevented this crash.
And if you think it’s only poor drivers who crash I hope you don’t drive.
Yes, I read that, but where does it mention placing ordinary people into expensive cars, and those people proceeding to drive like cunts?so you must have read the method section then?
