So neither the American who mentioned US vehicle inspections, or I who
mentioned MOTs, were right to think that these are related to the cost
of motoring?

Forgive me if I choose no longer to participate in this mind-numbing
pedantry, which appears to have lost the whole thrust of the point and
which has totally ignored what I wrote about the reasons for increased
use of public transport in London.

Jeez, guys, take a deep breath, please. I'm almost sorry I posted this
thread.........................I didn't meant to start a war..........
