Nice troll attempt.

A much better and fairer system would be a requirement for all
motor vehicles to be kept off the road at night when at or near
their registered keeper's (or other daily user's) addresses.

This would mean that streets would not not filled with nose to
tail parked cars and that all cars were off the road unless in
use away from home (a minimum distance of at least, say, five
miles would have to be used as the arbiter of whether the
vehicle was "at home" or not).

Anyone who could not or would not acquire and/or provide a
private parking (garage) space at their address could not keep a
motor vehicle there. End of story. And they would have to
provide as much space as was necessary for all the vehicles
registered there - or reduce their number, perhaps to zero.

Of course, since the system, like most administrative law, would
have to largely operate on trust, the penalty for breaching that
trust (eg, false declarations of address, etc) would have to be
severe, up to and including confiscation of the vehicle(s) and
disqualification from driving, as well as the more usual
penalties for deception, for anyone making, or being an
accessory to the making of, a false declaration for the purpose
of circumventing the law.

I like this idea in theory. The practical needs thinking about.

Let me slightly re-word the first two sentences of my third
paragraph:

"Anyone who could not or would not acquire and/or provide AND USE a
private parking (garage) space at OR NEAR their address could not
keep a motor vehicle there. End of story."

The important result would be no domestic garaging on the highway
and an end to concepts such as "residents-only parking". And a
market might develop in the renting out of defensible off-street
parking in residential areas where such things were either
non-existent or inadequate in number - garages in blocks, etc.

OK, I'll go along with that.


You are and always will be a ******.


Is there some point you are failing to make?
Nugent suggested this yet you are not calling him a ******.

Feel free to join the discussion.

How do feel about the apes parking their bicycles outside your Little
Dog's circus tent?


Mr Nugent has one more beaten you up. He always beats you up.
You really are a sad little **** all.

Entitled Liverpool resident thinks he owns the public road.


It's a common misapprehension. And not helped by the proliferation of
so-called residents' parking schemes.

The point is 'Pounder and His Little Dog' have joined the Circus. According to Pounder they live next to a married couple consisting of a talking dog and a cycling ape.
There is the teeniest tiniest possibility this is all in Pounder's imagination.

We have a great road network, unfortunately it is infested with cars.

Even places with plenty of cheap flat land for emergency lanes and/or bike lanes look more scenic with fewer motor vehicles.

Any infant knows this. A baby will see a passing cyclist and his head will lock onto the movement with the smoothness of an hydraulic actuator. A baby will rarely do this with a motor vehicle.

This point needs to be emphasized more as the beauty of cycling and cyclists isn't a minor luxury to be occasionally enjoyed by the general public.

It's a basic human right for everyone. Thomas Paine would have included cycling in _Rights of Man_ if bicycles had been invented back then.

I suggest we stop issuing any more driving licences. New drivers can put their name on a waiting list until a current licence holder dies or surrenders their licence for medical reasons or gets disqualified for criminal activity such as speeding.


Start off taxing carbon. Then start taxing footprint area occupied by a vehicle. Then start taxing rubber . . .

Tax ugly.

I suggest we stop issuing any more driving licences. New drivers can put their name on a waiting list until a current licence holder dies or surrenders their licence for medical reasons or gets disqualified for criminal activity such as speeding.


Start off taxing carbon. Then start taxing footprint area occupied by a vehicle. Then start taxing rubber . . .


In the UK we do tax carbon, it's called VED. Some, incredibly stupid, people call it Road Tax even though the road fund was abolished in 1936. Their belief in the mythical god Road Tax allows them to assuage their guilt when they put cyclists in danger.
