Why is Motorism such a cult?
I keep seeing on the news sites how motorists feel victimised by Low Traffic Networks (aka closing rat-runs, which was done uncontroversially in Lostock Hall, Lancashire, in the late 1990s), 20 mph speed limits (again apparently fine in Lancashire but allegedly evil in Wales) and the London ULEZ (also uncontroversial until it was extended to the outer boroughs, when it became an apparent major conspiracy). Why should motorists be coddled and pedestrians (occasionally literally) crushed? Why shouldn't operators of heavy machinery (which cars are) not be subject to strict restrictions?
