To be fair, if I was unaware of the car setup, that would annoy me too!
You can see it's a very low car and likely stiffly sprung. Pretty obvious he'll be very careful, unlike the zombie driving 4x4 brigade.
Stiff/low cars do not necessarily mean they will wait for oncoming traffic to pass before navigating speed humps.

Having read Fatboy's description of his car and also seen it under his "my garage" (assuming it is the Viper), I understand why he does it with this particular car.

However if was not aware of this, I would find it annoying. That is by no means a criticism of him nor anyone else who does the same to protect their car.

Utter bullcrap.
Not completely "Utter Bullcrap", Mayor Khan is exploiting it to implement change to the congestion charge and fleece the independent motorist wink
Exploiting a given current situation is completely different from the conspiracy theory that is the suggestion the Covid crisis is intentional to exert governmental policy change.
When its a world wide gov policy change red flags start waving. It's not corner shops working a move.
Sounds like new world order / illuminati bullst conspiracy theory to me. Zero evidence for it.
Zero evidence. Whole world on lockdown this past three months might be a clue.
I suppose anything can be "evidence" if you're a fantasist.
Fantasist. How are you enjoying your intro to communism?

Be a good little boy and the gov might let you have your family round and maybe even go for a pint if you do a few start jumps, walk backwards, clap on a thursday night and take a knee.

I think at this point our interaction here has run its course.

I’m surprised if anyone thought they had any left even before resorting to personally insulting me to attempt to drag me back into a “debate” I’d extracted myself from.

I can't work out what your actual point is.

That Covid is just an excuse for the government to implement tighter controls on the populace for their own ends?

Fatboy would get a pass on speed bumps from me, but not the local Mini Kr3W who have largely barry'd up S's with barely an exhaust, stretched tyres and cartoon camber settings to help navigate Mcdonalds drive through that much quicker. I actually hope to see oil after they clear the speed bumps. biggrin

It's a common issue. There was the Fiesta on it's bump stops holding up traffic on a country lane a while ago and a mk2 MX5 near where I live that has to stop, go across ramps diagonally and can't go more than 25mph without it looking like the it is being shaken apart.

Last time I mentioned the New Zealand 10cm rule and still think it should be introduced to the UK.

It's great thanks for asking. No two-hour commutes, no £50/week on petrol, no £100/month on parking, spending loads more time with the wife and kids..

Roll on the NWO biggrin

They are making people wear masks on public transport .. It's well known they always wanted this and were just waiting for and excuse. All the cabinet have cotton mills and stand to make billions.

Or

They are doing this because they think it's necessary to stop the spreads of the disease. In fact stupid decisions, really stupid decisions and smart decisions I haven't seen many examples where that hasn't been the motivation about CV. I am not sure any conspiracy theory stands up to scrutiny when the government resisted doing what the majority wanted for as long as possible, seem to have followed expert advice and then have pushed to relax restrictions as soon as possible. The new powers they took have hardly changed anything, most things people complain about are powers they have had for decades.

....and on that subject..

Health economists SQW were commissioned to calculate how much it saves the NHS when someone takes up cycling (from health/pollution gains).
In 2020 that figure is £630/year.

Only c5% of UK adults ride once a week or more. If we double that, the NHS would save nearly £2bn.

Wonder what it would be if they include the VAT on all the gear one buys when taking up cycling in that figure, plus wear and tear savings on the infrastructure (assuming bike journeys replace some car journeys, I'm pretty sure a bike wears the tarmac out more slowly than a 1-2-tonne car).
