If the campaigners are right and what he's done is illegal then opinions don't really matter, he shouldn't be allowed to conitnue pushing this course of action.

That was my thought, but it could also have been aimed at the people fighting against the depedestrianisation.

I'm intrigued, which part of the story are you saying that about?

If you're hitching a trailer anyway then why bother with the truck bed at all? Just get a minivan with a decent engine.

How many buses were there supposed to be? How long were you out for?

I'm honestly shocked this hasn't happened already. How can a world class museum not have a centralised inventory of all its items?

This has always been the case in the UK and I hate it. My city actually planned on banning it on two of the busiest roads in the city (because obviously people constantly pulling in and out of traffic will always make it worse), but the drivers protested and now the plan is scrapped.

It's been surprising to see just how many pro-car users seem to lurk on these anti-car/pro-alternative transport communities.

The FAQ in OP's link tells you that it is not all 30mph roads, but rather all restricted roads, with a link to a map of all 30mph roads that are staying 30mph as well as the option to see which restricted roads will change to 20mph. "Restricted Roads" is a classification of roads in law that is defined by the lamppost density, so this change won't affect larger and more rural roads where lampposts are more sparse.

Once upon a time the use of the exercise was to... question the PM. Nowadays it's little more than a tool for political point scoring.

I'm with you, I want to watch but I also want the PM to actually answer a bloody question every now and then. I feel there needs to be some kind of requirement for the PM's response to actually answer the question given.

I would even much rather they just say "I don't have than information to hand" or "I can't answer that question right now but will provide a response within X timeframe" rather than waffle and spin their way to their preferred talking point that they think will appeal to the voters.

Modern petitions seem pointless at the best of times, but petitioning a private company seems particularly futile. They have zero obligation to even recognise the petition, let alone act on it.

Fun fact, most car advertising uses a computer generated car. Photoreal cars bave been achievable for years now and it just makes sense for them to do it as they can keep it looking flawless throughout the ad. There's even a "mocap" car with an adjustable body to match the length/width etc. of the car it's supposed to be that they can just pin the model to.
