Ditch your safe car for a risky car says government 784

Steve Walker

When you ride a motorcycle, you wear a crash helmet. When you go out on a British motorway surrounded by juggernauts - you drive the biggest damn car yourself - Ok, it would be nice to save the world from emissions, (although Blairs War in Iraq brings into insignificance anything we could save by switching cars, and one Jumbo Jet flying to America and back probably pumps more into the environment in one trip than my car will do in a lifetime), but I'm not thinking about the planet when I'm in life preservation mode. I don't play with matches, I don't smoke in bed, I don't light up a fag when I'm filling the tank, I don't play cricket without something to protect my legs, I don't use a chainsaw without something to protect my eyes, and I don't weave in and out of juggernauts in a jelly-mould. It's called survival. I don't want to be lookinjg at the world through a tube in an intensive care unit so I protect soft, fleshy and rather attractive yet vulnerable body when I'm driving. Nice of you to think of the planet - it's a pity industry and people like "three jags" doesn't.
