@torquespeak The post-2017 VED system isn't supposed to be fair to the next owner - it's supposed to discourage the initial purchase of the vehicle
English
Make it make sense!
Range SVR well over 300g/km CO2: cheapest annual VED out of the lot.
Discounted pre-2001 regs mean a 4.1 V8 Cadillac kicking out ~350g/km is in the middle.
Sub-200g/km runabout that's only asking £495 will cost you £410 to tax for a year.
FFS.

@maxviolition @CRAZEEEEgoat @KieraDiss Yeah like the average person is going to know how to do that 🙄
Don't they have GPS anyway? They could see where the radio is.
English
@CRAZEEEEgoat @KieraDiss Should have dumped the eeproms on the device for the current in use TEA before handing it back.
The force likely wouldn't report it if it were missing for such a short period of time, everyone would continue none the wiser.

One of our calamitous police SERGEANTS left his walkie talkie behind after a traffic stop.
Lucky they’d pulled an honest driver.

@RSdriver00 @torquespeak The Mondeo is a victim of being near the start of the first tax system that penalised CO2 emissions, with an engine generation that dated from before we cared about CO2 emissions. There was a major push to make cleaner engines once this system came in, and it worked well.

@but_cyclists Less expensive
Less climate impact
Less traffic impact
Less stressful (most of the time)
More exercise
More fun (in summer at least)
And of course faster, at least when the slower road users are kind enough to move out of the way for the faster ones 🚲

Question for people who own a car and also regularly cycle:
Why do you cycle if you have a car?

@Jordan_W_Taylor Second hand smoke is bad for me but I don't remember being given a choice
English
I can't agree with this. Smoking may be a grim habit, but what an adult does to their own body is their own choice. This sets a nasty precedent.
Should the state have opinions on other areas of lifestyle, or diet, as well? It's none of their business.
The link is about legislation that's finished drafting in the UK to ban cigarettes for all people born after 2008.

Says a lot about the UK that we’re going to be running diesel passenger trains from London to Scotland in 2026

@anon_opin TV and movie productions don't use real tobacco in cigarettes. They are usually herbal cigarettes.
English
I don't enjoy the smell of vapes but they're better than cigarette smoke. We can now stop growing and processing tobacco. A small exception should be made for TV and cinema productions, which will need tobacco products for actors portraying 20th century people.
English
@Emma_A_Webb Smoking is fucking disgusting and last time I checked, non smokers didn't have the choice to avoid breathing in the disgusting smoke from cigarettes. This only benefits everyone.
English
I don’t smoke. Never have. I have no skin in the game. But this really is draconian. It should not be within the power of the government to interfere with the personal choices of citizens like this.

@darrenatter109 @CriticisingUK @ColeFusionHQ Yes they have to sacrifice their entire PIP award to get a motability car.
English
@friztbox @CriticisingUK @ColeFusionHQ No, they are getting it in exchange for some of their benefits, which they get for free.
They don't end up with a car because of working for it, it's because of the generosity of others whose tax money is taken to pay for it
English
@ColeFusionHQ 20k annual allowance what the fuck when I tried to insure my little car that I’ve paid for with my full time job I was told 13k miles a year was too high 😂 and people are getting nearly double for fucking free???

@FietserGlasgow @but_cyclists The problem is road traffic law is primarily written for motorists and doesn't very well take into account how dynamic bicycles are and how they move differently. Here's a four way crossroads that I can legally cross on red, because at no point am I crossing the stop line.
English
@but_cyclists I have no idea when I'm waiting at a light if the driver behind is going to close pass or drive into me. So the best thing to do is go if it's safe to do so.
Idaho Stop Laws enable cyclists to treat a red light as a stop sign. It makes junctions safer.
English
Saw a guy riding a riding a tandem bike solo. First time for everything. And of course he went through a red light 🤦

@VoxProMLS An American challenging European people to walk hahahaha I've heard it all now
English
I’d love to see any European walk for an hour in 95 degree heat lmaoo
Gregor 🌹🇪🇺🇦🇹@salingergregor
if they keep this bs up there will be 50k intl fans each game day who just take a regular train to Rutherford and WALK the 1h to the MetLife Stadium. I know walking is an unfamiliar concept for most Americans, but it is a thing in the rest of the world.

@DavidHorne @bardne53756 @railnigel Wait, they are using fluorescent tubes? On trains built in 2019? Despite a ban on the sale of fluorescent tubes coming in just four years later?
English
@bardne53756 @railnigel In an ideal world, we’d have the warmer lighting in the whole train. But in 2019 we took the decision we did because we were mindful of the amount of waste that would be created if we replaced all of the brand new 4000k light tubes.
English
This is a good point - I’ve always felt 800 series lighting is too harsh even in daylight. Does anyone know if there is a dimmer setting or are they on or off?
Sam 🏳️🌈 🚉 🎸@flpcharthiatus
I am once again begging GWR to ease up on the operating theatre lighting on their night trains - some of us are tired and want to rest our eyes

This has always been the plan.

@friztbox @bobsburner__ @robprogressive That's a load of rubbish. People don't say to themselves, I want the most polluting vehicle as a criteria for a car.
English
@CornishWaves @bobsburner__ @robprogressive You can judge their personality based on them buying the highest polluting type of car possible though, and surprisingly those vehicles tend to cost a lot of money
English
@friztbox @bobsburner__ @robprogressive You can't judge someone's personality on their wealth. Where does this idea come from?
English
@friztbox Looking around 2.7mile per kWh according to screen, I do try to drive EVs efficiently as I can, so no heat on or climate etc.
English
I used the Arnold Clark chargers at Sighthill, Edinburgh today. Started off at 56% (147 miles), 10 mins & £5.05 later I have added 28 miles which is now showing 66% (175 miles of range). 🚘🔋
Worth noting that the charging speed didn’t go above 59kW.
