Brian - LPG is extremely dangerous if the tank is ruptured - it sits there, in liquid form, under the vehicle and bursts into flame/explodes.. |

Perhaps all the parents who drive their kids to school could be encouraged to damn well walk the relatively short distances. I am referring to townies BTW. |

Our new to us 3 year old car has an eco function. Basically it means that if you've been stationary for a couple of minutes, the engine cuts out. It restarts when you engage a gear or press the accelerator. |

IMHO plug-in electric cars are a dead end and once again the Government is backing the wrong horse. |

Toyota, Honda & Hyundai have all produced hydrogen fuelled cars. By then perhaps they will be a credible & cheaper alternative to all-electric powered cars? |

I don't think many of us need bother about it. I, for one, would be nearly 100 and even if still here will certainly not be bothering about driving. :-D :-D |

Gove proves once more that he is incapable of connected thought or understanding law. He is of course in kindrid company. Meanwhile the nox disaster which has led to the Supreme Court ruling rolls on without any meaningful resolution. Indeed electric trains for the Gwr and the North are to be replaced by diesel. |

Another case of someone not thinking fully about it before stating their intentions. |

The proposed ban on fossil fuel car sales from 2040 has the potential to outlaw car ownership for the poor. Many on the lower end of the income scale live in properties that do not have a garage of private parking area and leave their cars on the road. |
