Why can't anybody drive in bad weather any more? Watching people struggling to get up the slope out of our office car park was like watching the Keystone Cops. Far too many revs and bags of wheelspin, culminating in getting out to push each other's cars. Then they look astonished when I chug past in the highly trained Korean hatchback with no drama at all.
I blame global warming.

20mph and disjointed government
Another day another piece of government idiocy. Local authorities are to be encouraged to introduce 20mph zones in all residential areas. Quite apart from the dubious safety benefits, where's the joined-up government?
We're being told that cutting emissions to save the planet is the most important thing ever. Yet, on the very day that Gordon Brown flies to Copenhagen to take part in the climate change shindig, we get a policy announcement that will raise vehicle emissions at a stroke.
Is it too much to ask for someone to think these things through? Is there any wonder we've lost faith in politicians?
