    London has some of the best, if not the best intra-city public transport on Earth. Few people need to drive there at all.

    And they definitely don’t need to drive SUVs or pickups.

    I’m not one of those privileged idiots who cry about people having cars. I have cars and intend to for the rest of my days. I like cars, like working on cars, and I like the engineering that goes into them. I like being able to actually leave my village. I understand that cars are necessary for a huge amount of people.

    But again, this is London we’re talking about… you’re fine without a car. Doubly so some gargantuan US-market monstrosity that should never have been allowed on public roads in the first place.

      I live on Tyneside and one of the things that I’m constantly reminded of when I go literally anywhere else is just how good our public transport links are.

      That said… the first time I went to London? Blown away. It’s on a whole other level in that city.
