De-accelerate! De-accelerate!

Everyday it seems we are being told what to do more and more. In the latest attempt to tackle climate change the EU are going to change the way we drive. That is to say, they are going to force us to drive exactly as they want us to. All new cars will be fitted with devices that tell drivers when to change gear, what speeds to drive at and even when to pump up their tyres. You could not make this up – even if your name was George Orwell. I don’t know how this is going to work, but I can imagine the car relentlessly nagging me like the worst back seat driver in a dalek like drone. Of course, it goes without saying that we will have to stump up an extra £2000 (on a typical family car) for the privilege.

Who actually believes that this crazy thinking will actually make a blind bit of difference to climate change? It’s just another piece of unnecessary regulation aimed at those who drive, this time passed off under guise of the impending disaster that is global warming.
