The Lib Dems want to ban all petrol and diesel cars by 2040, the trouble is theres no real alternative, battery cars are rubbish, ok they are fine if your going about 2 miles to the shops, but with a range of 40 - 50 miles, and most people have no way of recharging the cars (most homes here don't have either drives or garages and you can't run cables across the pavement)
Plus the factor that you never know when you might have to rush to say the hospital, or a stranded child somewhere.
Use buses they say, public transports wonderful! Not where I bloody live it/s not! In the last week my friend was left at the bus stop on her way home from work by a bus that didn't stop, despite her having her hand out. The next day the driver became aggressive and wouldn't let her off the bus until he got out of his cab and tested the bell (which didn't work) saying she had to press the bell for the bus to stop.
Then yesterday her bus was late because the driver kept stopping to send text messages (she actually went up to see what he was doing), he apologised then. While a bus I caught had the drivers friend standing next to him and chatting the whole 15 minute journey, the driver waving his hand about and leaning over the partition to chat, bloody unsafe.
Add that to the fact that buses are hopelessly unreliable (ours turn up if they feel like) theres more or less no service after about 6 o clock in the evening (just the odd bus) and very expensive.
And they really wan't us out of our cars!!! Don't make me laugh!
