I know you’re going to blame speed limits for this, or maybe traffic lights, but both are necessary under certain circumstances.
So? LTNs aren't my favoured solution and the health problems caused by cars are unfortunately not limited to one death. And what she actually says makes a mockery of your attempt to frame exposure to pollution as individual choice.
No, I blame cars. It doesn’t matter how many ways you look at the congestion and pollution problems in our cities, it always - always - comes back to cars. There are too many of them, making too many unnecessary trips, on poorly designed infrastructure. Get rid of large numbers of them and it gets better for everyone, Including those (relatively few) who actually need to drive.
Congestion causes pollution. And no, I'm not.
Did you notice anything those pictures have in common? Maybe the little fact that they're from a time when there were few or no cars?
That's just you trying to deflect attention from your bestiality.
? I mean what are you even on about. You're like a middle aged 12 year old.
And full of London wankers
I see you didn't deny it... Very telling.

Note the lack of cycle and bus lanes, the resultant wide roads have encouraged cycling and everyone is happy. Go check out Oxford today and notice the mess they've made of it.
Finally something we can agree on, Bees. I fully support getting rid of the majority of cars. Just as long as mine aren’t included in the cull. How would you go about it though? For starters I suggest banning all non-German vehicles. Then legislate heavily against all the remainder with engine capacities of less than 3 litres. I reckon you could even twist my arm and have me agree to the banning of all non black or silver cars too.
I'd agree with a ban on cars for anybody who doesn't need one. Obviously, everyone on this thread who is advocating against them should immediately stop driving and use only public transport or bicycles. edcraw can use a tricycle, whilst those of us who can prove that we need them can continue to use them.Finally something we can agree on, Bees.

Okay - prove that you need a car.
Then set out your criteria for proving (to you) that someone needs to own a car and we'll offer up a response. If you want us to play this game then you need to set out some ground rules. Saying prove it is meaningless since you can then continue to say well I don't accept that, so tell us what you do accept.
