Driving's great and I love turning my CD up and pootling along the motorway. Do you listen to music in the car?

How many people do you know who drive unnecessarily?
Most of the people I know view me and my enjoyment of driving to be abnormal. The vast majority of the people on the roads are driving to work, driving *for* work or visiting people.

They are strangling peoples' ability to move around the country without providing a single viable alternative. It's such an obviously shit idea that it's not something that even famous thieves like Berlusconi have seriously considered.

Paying through the nose will centre peoples attentions as to whether to make such a journey or not. Global pollution is a big factor for the future of the planet, and our endless obsession with throwing more pollutants into the air is kindof worrying. It wasn't that long ago that people wouldn't leave the area where they were born the entirety of their lives.

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Mon 17 Jan 2011, 13:31, Reply)

Depends on how you define "unnecessarily"
My commute's not exactly unnecessary. Sure, you can say "you should work closer to home". It's easy to say and believe me, I've been trying but in the meantime I'm being made to pay more and more for a journey I have no option but to make. The same situation will be true for the vast majority of people on the road.

This is all largely irrelevant, however. What is relevant is that getting people out of their cars is not the motivation behind the price increases. If it were, alternatives would be made available. They are not. In fact bus services are being cut and no incentives are being given to expand any other public transport service.

The motivation is that the Government want more money. It is convenient to them to dress it up in a manner that makes the public more likely to swallow it and the current vogue issue is the environment.
( Kroney, Mon 17 Jan 2011, 13:39, Reply)

Irrespective of the motivation, the outcome is at least a step in the right direction
I wouldn't say that environmentalism is 'vogue' it's been on the table for the past twenty years and fuck all has been done about it.

I don't have a car...
So I pump the music in the lounge, drink heavily and pretend I'm driving a car by using a dinner plate as a steering wheel and a sawn off broom stick for the gears. Occasionally I'll abuse which ever pedestrian happens to be in the room. Usually my girlfriend.

Don't pretend you have a drawing room in your flat Monty.

Lounge room
Main chamber
Living room

Or whatever you want to call it.

Probably the "second reception room"

Music? In the car?
Oh yes. Stiltskin "Inside" is a driving favourite.

I have to listen to music when driving
as if I don't, I tend to think there's something wrong with my car because I can hear all the engine noise. *belms quietly*.
I've been listening to the radio a lot lately, so I blame the snow for making me like pop music. Yup. It's all the snows fault. Also, champagne is disgusting fizzy piss.

I always subconsciously read "spumante"
as "spermante". I think that largely accounts for my distaste for it.

I appreciate that this isn't champagne-related, but it's close enough. So there.

Is that because your car doesn't go fast enough to overtake them?

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 17 Jan 2011, 12:54, Reply)

It so does
It's because looking over and pointing at them while driving past them is not safe driving.

Especially not when you're steering with your knees and eating hula hoops at the same time

I pity anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in a car with me, my mum and my sisters.
We're those horrible people who sing along to whatever we're listening to.

Yup and inevitably spend half the journey pressing skip on the ipod. Random means random on my ipods.
