cool, saves me reading it, I can press delete on that email now.
I'd buy a self driving car if they become legal, cos I'm a crap driver, and the self driver can be better, assuming it can park. Or will I have to buy a "docking computer". |

I have to be honest and wind up Rufous, I think they're sticking to specific, achievable goals for once. Bridge tolls, death-humps.
I particularly like that the escalation from being snubbed by TfL over death-humps wasn't to threaten a Rage Ride, but to offer to write to coroners making them aware of the hazards. Conveniently enough, a... oh, wait...
Sorry, I'd skimmed it and thought someone who mattered had died on a cyclopath lane, but it was only that bloody biker who was doing a wheelie while undertaking at 200mph.
Ah well, never mind.
All together now: at least they're doing something. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
