Motorists, Is the future on four wheels or on two?
Motoring Revolution -Tens of thousands of Electric Cars coming very soon – AA says “8 out of 10 motorists can’t buy them.” Can’t charge ’em!
Nissan, making more cars in Sunderland than made in the whole of Italy, is already advertising the spectacular, all-electric, one pedal, Leaf and taken orders for over 13,000 of them.
Auto-phobic cycling charity Sustrans has cuckolded national and regional Transport planners – Sustrans vision: fewer cars, slower traffic flow and more cycle lanes! Auto-friendly planners are badly needed. 20mph speed limits are surplus to requirement.
Read my letter published in the Journal, Newcastle for details.
Can YOU head this off?
It’s crazy spending over £1.2bn on cycling and less than £400m on charging points for the new generation of electric powered cars. . There should be a big announcement of a major spend on charging points and scrap spend on urban cycle lanes. Politics is about priorities, not about wishful thinking.
This will be the best way to deal with air pollution in town and city streets.
360 degree vision is urgently needed, not 30 degree vision focussing only on the disadvantaged cyclist. Consider the interests of other road users besides cyclists. Their rights are not equal; they are different and now much more important in a vibrant economy. Their time is valuable, and they are a good deal more numerous.
Complaints about urban cycle lanes for non-existent cyclists are suppressed by the system. UK’s narrow streets are dangerous and unhealthy places to cycle.
Mobility as well as social mobility! More young professionals should be able to afford a new electric car; get a mortgage, put money into a pension too. Paying back student loans doesn’t make any of that easy. Bring back State Scholarships to reward ambition and excellence. The fairness of inequality!
