I don't suffer at all with any restrictions. I use public transport when I travel around London. You should too.

Is that what you advocate? Is it any wonder that motorists with such an attitude kill and injured so many on our roads?

You could say I use a bicycle as a mobility aid, though it is never officially recognised as such. So you see I do suffer from more than one restriction, as well as cycling where others are allowed to cause me harm. Oh yes, the point of this thread, how does travelling on public transport alone avoid the excessive pollution caused by cars? -- UK Radical Campaigns. http://www.zing.icom43.net A driving licence is a licence to kill.

"Harm" includes many things, such as setting out to very deliberately delay people's journeys. > Is that what you advocate? You are the only one who advocates violence and causing harm to others Doug. Everyone else I've seen contributing to rational discussion on usenet is very happy to condemn the use of violence and intimidation. I invite you to condemn all violence by all road users. > Is it > any wonder that motorists with such an attitude kill and injured so > many on our roads?
