El Dingo Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 ... that I think are worthy, and respectfully ask for your consideration: 1. Allow motorcycles and scooters to use bus lanes. Eminently sensible in my opinion and would make motorcycling, particularly in our cities, somewhat safer. 2. Remove all speed bumps. These things cause much pain and suffering, added noise and pollution and can damage your vehicle. The 'speed cushion' design is especially dangerous for:a. all two wheeled vehicles and b. to pedestrians, as drivers' attention is focussed on carefully straddling the things to minimise the bump. Some of the widely spaced speed cushions are avoidable by driving down the middle of the road, which is never going to encourage safe driving!And lets face it, the *real* boy racers don't slow down for these things...

Dave-G Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Ah - but these are the sacred cows of local authority corruption which ups their free home improvement scheme for all councillors who vote for them. They now use this method to avoid the possibility of being photo'd with a brown envelope. Any major work is worth maybe a new roof to someones 'daughters house :lol: Any civil construction job will do - all those mini islands that appear probably got a free meal in an expensive restaurant. Traffic lights for your constituents? oh yes please - thats worth a weekend in france surely? lets see now - where can we create a need for them... hmm there's almost half a mile with no lights here :lol: Edited March 5, 2007 by Dave-G Quote
