However, the bus decided it would indicate and, simultaneously, pull
out right into the side of my car. Luckily only minor scratches were

Current government policy is to stop Londoners from enjoying the
roads as we should, and instead they are forcing everybody to travel
on the HIGHLY inadequate public transport. I am sure it will not be
long before TfL is taken to the EU Court of Human Rights by someone
who feels they have the right to choose comfort over bus
Since when has there been the right to drive a car?
Mrs Thatcher and the Daily Mail believe it so it must be right. Only
poor people travel by public transport and we certainly can't have car
owners being seen as somehow less or worse off than the rest of society.
I'm sure the EU Court of Human Rights would completely concur with such
views.
