A matter of definition

Resistance is 4x4 futile

'...we need to be encouraged to stop using our cars'

The point has been made by others, but I'm guessing as I read this in Ross-on-Wye that this 'we' don't get much beyond Islington/Westminster/Fleet St/Canary Wharf/where Ken taxi (what does he use?) rides to & fro, and where the BBC meets their mates from the preceding places?

And while I'm here I just wonder how an electric car prevents congestion?

Or indeed, how a petrol car that does, say 10 miles a day, is worse for the environment than an electric (I do believe there is still an exhaust pipe. It is just in another place) or hybrid that buzzes about all day, emitting away.
