Okay let's see...
1: Removing comfort from a car makes it awful so you want to actually scrap the very cars you want to see on the roads?
ok, i'll change that slightly, remove entertainment. no more fiddling with radios not more glances at the phone when you get a message tone. a system like with the convertibles, that says you can't change things like sat' nav' if you are going 30mph+ also stiffer suspension and less noise absorption, less dozy drivers a million miles away thinking about anything apart from the road.
2: How do you discern who is a dangerous person? I have no criminal or bad driving record but I'll pull out a Mac10 in under 3 minutes I'll have you know?
3 strikes and you're out driving tests. some people are not born to be in charge of 2000kg machinery. spatial awareness tests. etc. common sense exams.
3: If people have not had their brakes or tyres changed for so long that they're virtually an unknown thing then how are they using those cars on the roads given that an MOT will flag and fail those cars? Does that mean you're admitting to knowing people who drive cars unfit for the road (read: the very cars you want to see and at the same time scrap!) illegally?!
no, i don't know. i however see really poorly maintained cars every day. rusty white vans with chunks falling off. massively deflated tyres. cars, trucks, buses bikes all dripping oil. blown lights squeaking breaks, fan belts. grinding bearings, wobbling exhausts. all things i see pretty regularly.
4: And to end it all off you want to up the speed limit so people with uncomfortable scrap worthy cars with no brakes or tyres can cruise along being a danger to the rest of us?
they would not be scrap worthy. uncomfortable yes as it stops people dozing into a coma thinking about dinner.
Tsk tsk.
