This is so short sighted that it's almost blind.
The best thing this country could do for national security is to wean ourselves off foreign oil and gas.
Even economically. Look at the way heating oil and motor fuel has skyrocketed this year alone.

Exactly. They could have designed a modern stylish car that met the brief, like Renault did with the Twingo. The original as you say was designed for a specific role and met that brilliantly.
I'll give it a pass on the weight as it's an EV and batteries are heavy. I think Citroen could have designed a car that looks stylish without the retro fakery.
I don't like it, but then I have never been keen on faux retro cars like the new beetle, fiat 500 or the mini because it's all about the style and not the original concept or design.

But then you also need to shutter the Sun, Mail, Express, Telegraph and worst of all Facebook. Plenty avoid the news these days and rely on Facebook and the hateful biased shite that they push. BBC is only a small part of the problem in the UK.
Yea we have dual carriageways here that have been reduced over time from their original 70 limit to 50 or even 40. Plenty of drivers still hoof along well above the limit though.
But I was told that car parking companies make absolute fortunes fleecing innocent drivers and using them as atms. Also that car parks never need maintenance. Shocked to learn that this is not true I tell you.
Point?
Some will find offence at anything. Nothing in my original post to suggest anything else.
That must have been traumatising for your dad. I'll never understand why automatic speed limiters aren't mandatory in the UK. They would save so many.
There is a world of difference between people who do waver within a mile or so of the limit, and those who wilfully and deliberately ignore the law because they arrogantly think they know better and don't give a toss about anyone else. It's also why police have a small tolerance around the limit.
Yep. In recent years there's been quite a few communities in the UK who want limits lowered because of safety, and the local council basically refuses to. Same with infra such as speed humps or cameras. They'll basically only do it once a few locals have been sacrificed to the driving gods.
Yea I reckon he's seen lots of crashes in his rear view mirror.
Attitudes like this are why we need mandatory speed limiters in vehicles. Does clever boy here just shoplift because he feels a price has no relation to worth? Only when driving do people feel it's fine to ignore the law and be completely anti social. And yes speeding is anti social.
Such an underrated and understanding appreciated series though. Some good episodes and excellent storylines.
Unreliable sources are quoted saying that’s we had about 400 people on bikes and wheels tonight.
That's appalling. Quite how she will be allowed to drive again is beyond me
This story is so sad. At least the 10 year sentence is significant but the driving ban in such a case should always be for life.
Blimey!
Proper food.
