How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Yeah, I wouldn’t fancy being in a kayak in the outside lane of the M6... asking for trouble.

Even for you that is a bizarre mental leap, You can't buy a gun in this country (which I agree with) but even in America where you are allowed to buy guns, it's supposedly for 'home defence' only, going on rampages and massacring people is definitely illegal.
Whereas with car ownership there are restrictions on what I can do with it, I can't drive on other people's properties, I have to maintain and insure it but I do indeed have a legal right to drive it on the public highway providing I obey the appropriate laws enacted for mine and everyone else's safety. There are no laws (other than current temporary restrictions) restricting which particular bits of the public highway I can use.

I am glad that my post prompted you to acknowledge that part of your previous comment is complete nonsense:
Unfortunately, of course, in practice most car drivers dto think they have the right to go wherever they feel like, just like how many gun owners think they've got the right to go around shooting everyone. At least gun owners don't cause as much societal harm as car owners do, though. A back-of-the-envelope calculation puts car owners at 350% worse. At least.

The most shameful bit is that he didn't carve a new paddle. Probably didn't want to scratch his Bear Grylls TM survival knife. Broken Britain etc.Look at this absolutely typical car driver.
Not only were they breaking covid rules (because they think their car gives them the right to drive around going anywhere they feel like) but they are entirely incompetent using other means of transport, because driving their car has made them stupid.

Interesting, thanks.
Even in America they are cottoning on the fact that it's time to sort things out.
Some of the dinosaurs on this thread will remain in denial, of course.

I have to confess that I've just bought a 5 metre 2 ton death machine, with a 3.5 litre V6. But it will be a mobile home, and is much smaller and lighter than the fixed home I currently reside in. I'll convert it to LPG and hope to run it mostly on BioLPG, which is made from waste. And it will have a composting toilet, solar shower and solar panels. And no heating because I will relocate with the seasons and be forever warm. So I hope my impact on my fellow earth-dwellers will be acceptable.

I can see how that might bother bus wankers. It'd be something else for them to be joyless about.

Yeah, I hate to admit it but perhaps that’s true. If only private vehicle users could switch to the magic cars Uber and car share clubs use, which don’t pollute, contaminate or cause any injuries on impact....
Or the equally magical delivery vans that nowdays make nearly as many journeys on residential streets as privately owned cars do, just to deliver on a pretty much daily basis all those essential items from Amazon that one couldn't be arsed to go out and buy from the shops, even before the pandemic when everything was open. That's okay, those highly convenient delivery vans don't pollute, congest, or maim either

As long as you replace your driving seat from one made of unsanded pallets with a few nails sticking out...

love to see the formula you've used for that calculation.
As for other assertion, I DO have the right to go wherever I feel like, as does someone on a bus except I am exercising my other right to use my car.

Cars are death machines is an awesome slogan, VW Group should use it, they'd sell loads more motors

In defence of the humble Micra, until recently, Mrs Tag was driving around in one that was 20 years old. It never let her down, it never owed her a penny and since giving it away it is still going strong. If you look around, as we do, there are still dozens of old Micras out there being driven still.

On the other hand, by getting out of their personal heart attack/depression machines and walking more, they may well have reduced future demand on the NHS by some small amount.

I wish Brixton could be car free. It would be bliss. The drivers here are such cretins. The pollution on the South Circular even got a mention at an autopsy recently, as a cause of death.
Did I mention that my neighbour ran me over when he was high? He's so careless that a week later his car caught fire.

One van making a round of deliveries for 30 or more people will create a hell of a lot less pollution than if those 30 people all got in a car and went to the shops.Or the equally magical delivery vans that nowdays make nearly as many journeys on residential streets as privately owned cars do, just to deliver on a pretty much daily basis all those essential items from Amazon that one couldn't be arsed to go out and buy from the shops, even before the pandemic when everything was open.

They all do that, it's just Morrisons are trying to con you that it's their idea.
Mrs Q has a 2007 Micra which she bought at the end of 2009, we've still got it. I've been through 4 vehicles in the same time, even our son who passed his test in the same year is on his 3rd.
