Transport Majority - The 85%

Let's have the democracy of majority rule in transport: Road space and the allocation of resources should be based on the fact that 85% of all journeys are made by motor vehicle. Speed limits should be scientifically based on the '85th percentile' in order to have a sound basis and consent. Let's not forget that the government makes a big profit out of the £58 billion in motoring taxes it receives each year, whereas bus and train travel is subsidised by taxpayers.

The AA Not Supporting Drivers Again

It has been reported in the press today that the 'AA' is supporting more 20mph limits in order to encourage cycling. I'm sorry, but the AA are supposed to be the 'Automobile Association' - not a cycling association - it makes no economic or transport sense to hold up the 85% of journeys for the imaginary benefit of 0.5% of journeys.
