But that's the thing with 20mph limits (assuming they are replacing 30mph ones) - they don't "hobble" the motor car or lessen "benefits" - in practice average speeds are not decreased by significant amounts and therefore average journey times are not significantly increased.
The best one, apparently, would have been to have had a captain who realised he couldn't possibly stop and instead turned as hard as he could. The ship would have struck a glancing blow and survived.
Whenever I see the word "intelligent" used to describe any technology I'm nearly always on safe ground if I say that the technology will actually be anything but.
We would have more space if we fed ourselves with the plants directly, rather than using the space to inefficiently convert them into animals.
It doesn't matter where you get them - if you burn hydrocarbons you're going to emit carbon compounds.

Strange enough though, oil multinationals and arabs are not the slightest concerned about this change...
Hit the brakes til they squeal and pray like Hel their insurance is up-to-date!
Can you get a real classic for that kind of money, though? In that price range i'd assume some work would need to be done on it and that don't come cheap.
Yeah, I think so? OK, You're not going to get a Le Mans winning Blower Bentley or something really popular, but there are loads of "ordinary" old classics out there for much less than one of those. I've always fancied one of these. My mate has one (although his is just the 1.5 litre "poverty spec" one:

Oh they are absolutely cr4pping themselves! That's where I'm convinced a lot of the negative BS anti-EV stories originate from. "Big Oil" can see it's stranglehold on us being broken by EVs, and it's not going to give up without a fight!
There are bus companies having to revise timetables and even withdraw some services because of it!
Captain Smith was asleep at the time. It was the First Officer in charge. He ordered hard astern AND tried to swerve. If he had only done ONE of those things, they might have missed it. If he'd gone hard astern, but not tried to swerve, he'd probably have hit it head-on, at much reduced speed, and not damaged more than 5 watertight compartments. On the other hand, if he'd maintained speed and swerved, he might just have missed it. However, putting the engines astern, he lost his "prop wash" (the flow over the rudder), making it very reluctant to answer the helm. It then DID strike a glancing blow, which tore a gash down the side, long enough to rupture one too many watertight compartments.
No offence, but it looks like the kind of car a well-to-do bank manager would've driven to impress the neighbours. I'd go for something sporty, like one of a mate's Morgans or an MG...Yeah, I think so?

In British Racing Green, obviously.
Who told you that?
I know a very high rank manager of an oil multinational and he said all of this EV scam will fall down like a house of cards.
In fact, they're investing more money in infrastructure that will last 50/60 years and signing new contracts with the arabs.
That's how much they're cr4pping themselves.

Has he also told you how the price of oil will only raise (likely to be way above normal inflation levels), and who will control the strings?
Yes oil will be available for years yet, but like it or not, the world is trying to work away from it.
Tell us which manufacturers have put money effort and time into developing new engines for example? The newest mainstream engine is probably over 10 possibly 15 years old now. I.e. an old design. There are a few newer engine from very small scale makers, but not many, and they don't really compete against the established designs.
The future is not petrol and diesel engines vehicles.
I'm gonna use your line here:
"Prove it!"
You see?
How can you possibly prove a personal opinion?
That's what you and others ask on this forum everyday.
