radio 2 listeners try to vote us off!

[kenny]

anyone listen to radio 2 today at about 11'00 o'clockish about them voting for bikes to be banned aswell as other vehicles. the people givin the reason why bikes should be banned was so stupid one woman said coz she drives on a busy road a lot of the time and she finds it hard enough to concentrate on the normal traffic nevermind bikes when there filtering. I mean what all these people where basically saying is that we should ban any thing that is not a car.

Now if they banned cars, would the accident rate fall ? Most likely not, but the death rate sure would...

Like them wanting to ban vans and hgv's. FFS how do they thing anyone will get stuff to the shops.....

that was one of the points made and there return answer was use trains, well erm sorry but shops dont have train depots attached to them they still have to use a truck to get them from the trains depots to the shops

The second part of the show was worse, that was about lorries.

Why not listen tomorrow, you'll hear all the same stuff again except they'll be talking about horses or tractors or white vans etc.... it's on all week.

If you feel so hard done by vote in their poll.

I was going to vote in their poll, but it doesn't let you vote for uninformed radio presenters so I emailed them instead. I suggest everyone else does the same. Maybe he will get the message.

[Mr.Everready]

It wasn't the presenter doing the slagging

i wanted to vote for everything except motorbikes, plumped for caravans in the end!

[Mr.Everready]

I voted tractors because of the mess they leave after them. Nothing worse than coming round a corner and half a muddy field has been dragged onto the road which will never ever be cleaned off.

I wouldn't bother wasting your time - it's just something to keep people amused as these sort of polls always get peoples' blood pressure up.

Rise above it, and don't sink to their level.

I listened to that show :oops

In my view the roads would be allot safer if all elderly drivers, School run and those who passed by some miracle were banned from them.

Most of the people that sent their views in fall under one of them categories.

[kenny]

im going to vote for the horse, i hate them as in if you come round a corner and sunddely theres a horse you have to swerve out in to the other lane on a blind corner and they dont pay road tax dam things lol

Horse, Foreign drivers who have not sat an EU standard test, Old fogies who can't see, react or hear properly. People smoking and driving.

OAP's should not be able to drive unless between the following times 09:30am -- 16:00 then from 19:00pm -- 06:30am
This would give those who work a better chance to get there.
All OAPs should undergo a human form of the MOT each year to assess their suitability to be in control of a mechanically propelled vehicle.

[NSR Mick]

Never listen to Jeremy Vine I think he's a self righteous twat.

I wouldn't worry about radio 2's midday listeners. They're all saddos with no lives of their own who just want to mess with your but have no power to do so, so they think that calling up a radio show will make them feel that little bit more important down the local womans institute/local saloon bar on a Thursday teatime/early evening.

I must admit, I sued to listen to Jeremy Vine and still listen to radio 2, stuck in an office through the day now though so missed this.

The thing about his show is that its target audience are narrow minded nimby middle englanders, this type of poll would be right up their street.

I've heard the ads for the poll, I don't think you can put anything off the road; its just a safety valve for lots of uptight middle class arseholes to vent their spleen.

That said 4x4's anywhere other than in muddy fields should be banned. Oh, and old people. Ummm, and tractors at peak times. Erm, busses at peak times, (I know I know... But they're just rolling road blocks...)

Oh aye! Most importantly, anything that isn't powered by a carbon based fuel, namely: Stupid pedestrians and militant vegetarian cyclists.

[veeeffarr]

Am I being really stupid.

The poll seems to be missing an option to ban cars?

[mistergixer]

When the woman said bikes should be banned because it's too difficult to concentrate on bikes and cars, what she actually meant was:

I'm a really shit driver with limited attention and very limited driving skills, i drive by looking at the taillights of the car in front of me. Rather than doing something to sort out my problem, everyone else who interferes with my blinkered and myopic driving shouldn't be allowed out, because i will eventually crash into them and it will be entirely my fault.
