@2legged @fj Given the horrendous death tolls on roads, particularly in some parts of the EU, the last thing we want is even bigger, more fuel hungry, death machines, that can be driven by uninsured, unlicenced idiots.

@HarriettMB All that ... and those monstrosities just dont fit in European cities. Our cities were mostly designed well before the era of the motor car. Even our 20th century suburbs were designed for much smaller cars.
