Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

Good podcast here on how Tesla is basically a fraud - chargers linked to diesel generators and self driving cars that don’t work. Basically a poor attempt by a car manufacturer to keep their dying business model going.

Looks like careful and considerate driving to me.

Man says somethings slightly loudly. Cyclist is obliviously so distressed and endangered that they have time reach around and activate their camera's clip-recording button.

Here you go platinumsage - good article on what people actually mean when we say “ban cars”.

What I Mean When I Say 'Ban Cars'

Somehow, every discussion about reducing our automobile dependency gets turned into a "war on cars." The only option left is to reclaim the language.

It's not a good article. It's someone living next to a metro station in a in city projecting their own needs and desires on everyone else.

Besides, teuchter made it clear in the OP that this thread was about "eliminating the private car from the planet forever", whereas what that article makes clear is that the author simply wants to gentrify his neighbourhood, and gives no consideration to anyone who might not want to live their entire lives on the NY subway.

I’m pretty sure that you’re not so much of a twat that you do actually think it’s okay to hell “GET OUT OF THE FOOKING WAY!!” at someone using the correct lane at a roundabout but it is hard to tell sometimes.

You want to ban cars because a driver shouted at someone?

In this case, they seem willing to allow the emergency services through as long as they are allowed to block the pavements instead.

I guess I could do the same for their paper thin care for people with disabilities.

Basically car culture is toxic.

The council could widen the road by compulsorily purchasing their tiny front yards and recouping the cost via a residents parking permit scheme. They won't of course, because it's easier for the council to just encourage people to park their cars oin neighbouring roads on the pavements.

The council should pay money to purchase extra parking for people!! Fuck me - you’re really really really thick! Exactly why the pro car lot have stopped posting here - embarrassing.
 
Fuel price protesters using similar tactics to Inuslate Britain to highlight their concerns today.

www.bbc.co.uk

Fuel protests: Arrests for slow driving during motorway delays

Protesters who want a fuel duty cut drove slowly on major roads across the country.
www.bbc.co.uk

I wonder if there's any crossover between drivers protesting against fuel prices and drivers who lost the plot when Insulate Britain prevented them from driving around on cheap fuel a few months back.
