I think it's stupid that we have cars. They're a massive waste of money. They make public spaces less accessible. It's harder for children to play on the street or to walk where you want to go. They've led to high streets becoming more empty as cars go to large out-of-town supermarkets.
Sometimes people die in car crashes, needlessly, leaving families devestated.
People who can't drive are discriminated against. We have to rely on infrequent bus and rail services that are sometimes overpriced.
All the money spent on buying a car, the insurance, MOT, tax, maintenance and repairs, petrol, imagine what that money could do if those cars weren't there. It would give people money to spend on building better buildings, facilities, public transport, social services, healthcare, education.
Okay so I've come to a different conclusion. Maybe cars are necessary but I think the rules should be stricter. I'm so tired of people who speed and make noise. There should be noise limits imposed in my opinion and also I just think cars should have a lower maximum speed limit imposed by law. In my opinion maybe about 60mph and have limits on the acceleration too. Maybe I sound like a killjoy but I don't see why hooligans who use roads as race tracks should be allowed to carry on doing that harassing people who want peace and quiet and sometimes causing awful accidents. I can appreciate what people have said about the practical use of cars, I just think they shouldn't be there to cause mayhem.
Other than motorways you can’t go any faster than 60mph anyway.
And if you impose more rules, the people you complain about will ignore them anyway. That seems to be how rules work .
