| Surely most cars now will have automatic start stop engines so shouldn't be creating so much pollution by sitting in traffic jams. That is if the drivers use it. Some people it seems can't cope with change and switch off the function... Eventually we'll have even more electric delivery vehicles. Many offices are keeping the kind of working that a lot of their workers prefer ie working from home a part of the week as it allows them a better work:life balance. Obviously this doesn't suit all but some version of this suits many. We need the suppliers organising their deliveries better and perhaps we'll realise that we don't need so many unnecessary things instantly. Then those necessary vehicles out will have clearer roads. If you have a mobility problem and may be eligible for a Blue Badge you should apply as it will make it much easier for you or anyone looking after you to transport you when you are unable to walk or cycle. It can take a while to organise all the paperwork. If you have driven and the satnav has taken you to a road that you can't drive through you should be complaining to the satnav company (unless it's your fault you haven't updated it) because they need to have a system that shows when roads are closed or restricted to particular types of vehicle. |
