Quoting the mother of the doctor end by one of your fellow-drivers, old chum.
"Amazing insight". You flatter yourself. Pompous butt. "Wayward pedestrians" are supposed to be grateful that you invade their areas in your fast ton of metal, and they are supposed to be grateful that you usually don't kill them? Pedestrians have a right to be there. You have to get a licence. They often used to get the right of way in earlier days.
"Do we ever get any thanks?" You are the masters of the universe. Why should you get any thanks? You already have been given much more than you deserve.
"Problems caused by people who do not drive." You mean people who are not driving at that moment. Do you think that you somehow become more stupid when you get out of your car? You are just as stupid in your car but far more lethal.
And you accuse me of losing the plot? Where are you? "Tomorrow's world" circa 1977?
Who is this THEY who are going to invent these devices (sorry, personal transport methods) to save you still from walking to the shops? You people are in for a big shake-up. Things are going to get a lot tighter. China and India will want the oil too. Who gets it?
People with no road sense on foot or on bicycle only kill themselves. You mature adults with road sense (you say) kill others. They pay the price for your privileges.
If you need strength, get out of your car and exercise.
