Do I get the impression that you are just 'slightly' anti car??

Forgive me, I don't really know your background or whether or not you
have driven a car in your life, but you seem to be the ultimate uber
cyclist who actually can't see both sides of the story.

For those over on uk.rec.driving. Doug has just started what looks
like a another rant about uninsured drivers.. Will he not be happy
unless every vehicle on the road are destroyed and replaced with vegan
beardies riding bicycles??

How on earth is this relevant to uk.rec.cars.modifications?

Probably.

I used to drive cars for many years but finally got rid of my
lifestyle dependency on them, thankfully.

No but I would like to see a drastic reduction in harmful mass car use
and the dismantling of the all pervasive car culture which dominates
these newsgroups and society at large. You may not be aware but there
is a world-wide anti-car movement of which I am just a very small
part.

Yes, instead you just depend on other people who are using cars and
other motorised transport to provide you with food, medicine and
shelter.

What would happen if we all did that ?

The name for a person like that escapes me.

Doug gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

Translation :- I lost my licence on medical grounds.

the all pervasive car culture which dominates these newsgroups

No ****!
An "all-pervasive" car culture in uk.rec.driving and uk.rec.cars.* ...?

Who would have thought it?

I think some people have long suspected that you a very small part.

It's which part which is at issue.

Oh yes , Doug used to drive a large 4x4 , but when he could no longer afford
to do so , he decided cars are evil and should be banned.

Has he anything to say on the subject of uninsured cyclists?

Hmm, I wonder why it is about the London Borough of Lewisham that
attracts the ****wits? Both Doug and Tom "**** Me I Can't Argue for
Toffee" Crispin seem to exemplify the breed.

I have no objection to the lorries that deliver my food.

What would happen if we all did that ?

The world would be a much more tolerable and safer place but I could
bear just a few motorists remaining.

The name for a person like that escapes me.

What person?
