cool, saves me reading it, I can press delete on that email now. Thumbs Up

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".

The editorial is a bit crap. Germany's motorway toll has nothing to do with brexit, and everything to do with significant volumes of east european haulage and other vehicles using the autobahns which don't repair themselves.
The rest of it seems a lot more detailed than I recall the previous ones being, like they're trying to prove that they are actually doing something.
Fair enough.

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.

Actually quite a decent newsletter for a change. Karma

Are they suddenly listening to criticism? Thinking

Interesting.

I didn't even get to the contents, I was interrupted by a phone call, it was 1998 asking for their Word Art back.

That's it! You're not getting into Biker Vigilante Squad!

Which is secret and also doesn't exist.
