Ah yes...this was also reported on the bbc,

But I do like the PH line..."Fortunately for fans of sanity, the UK government has effectively told the European Commission to keep out of it, saying that the EU should not get involved in the transport policies of individual cities."

"We will not be banning cars from city centres anymore than we will be having rectangular bananas," said UK Transport Minister Norman Baker.

You have a point there Pete .... I'll be 83 ...... or .........dust ......

I'll be 79 and dribbling if I make it that far so NOT fussed anyway.

The DVLA will have taken my license away by then anyway so I'll only be driving round on the track I will have had built in my back garden. The fastest thing I'll be driving on the road will be my mobility scooter....with full Larini's on it naturally!

In 2050, cars should be flying through the air - I've seen this sort of stuff in the Back to the Future documentary.... and the cars run on garbage not petrol....

 

[safrane]

Is that not what petrol is...re-claimed rotting veg and shell-fish?
