Fuel prices & fuel protests + traffic 'calming'!
Just a couple of snippets taken from posts added to http://road-use.blogspot.com today. Here in the UK we are enjoying unprecedented tax hikes for both road fund licences and petrol and diesel. It is nice to be able to complain, makes you feel a tad better, even if it has no effect on our prime minister and chancellor! "BON VOYAGE! GOOD LUCK. And may all the anti-government GODS BE WITH YOU! Best wishes to all the fuel protestors today. It is their livelihood that the government is playing with. The increased amount of tax they have received from increasing fuel pricing is just a windfall they are using to fund their wars and grandiose schemes... whilst others bear the brunt of their unjust and foolhardy policies. Our lorry drivers are at an extreme disadvantage when compared with those from any other EC country. It is totally unjust for drivers from other EC countries to come over here using their own cheap fuel and undercutting our own drivers. Will our government see sense? I doubt it, but we can hope and pray that they will, at long last, come to their senses."
[Labels: blockade, fuel prices, fuel protests, lorry blockade] The second post concerns the stupid ways the local politicians think the can slow the traffic down or improve the traffic flow! "Traffic 'Calming' Traffic what? Can anyone [excepting those who design them] explain how 'the powers that be' can have the audacity to call chicanes traffic 'calming' measures? They could be termed a young male drivers free rally course. They could be termed a road rage hazard. They could be cited as a major cause for increased insurance premiums. They could easily be cited as one of the main reasons for increased fuel consumption, and therefore as 'anti-green'. But traffic 'calming' NEVER!" |
