Skatiechik Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Originally posted by Sidla Not really, it would be an encouragement to switch to public transport. I don't get a choice. If I used public transport my journey currently takes 1hr 30mins each way (assuming it turns up), if I drive it takes 30mins. Soon I may be having to travel an extra 40miles a day, where there would be no option for public transport. Some people like me, don't have a choice but to use a car, and unfortunately like me they may not recieve much in the way of earnings. Increasing the cost in petrol, would mean I wouldn't be able to afford to get to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t020 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Originally posted by DaBouncer However this could be overcome by having Isurance companies supply 'Insurance Discs' to place in the window Good idea - can't help but feel like I've seen it somewhere else before though (e.g. a few posts up from yours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBouncer Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 You know t020... I never even read your post and have ONLY JUST seen it now. LOL:D Great minds think alike for sure! Serious though I just read the first 2 or 3 posts and hit reply... that'll teach me eh! ----------- I was also thinking that since Insurance is a LEGAL requirement by law (i.e. government) then shouldn't all insurance companies be run via the Government. Tax is (DVLA is a government Dept) so why not insurance. I reckon that would solve loads of probs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t020 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Originally posted by Sidla Not really, it would be an encouragement to switch to public transport. Good idea - I can just imagine thousands of motorists turning down the comfort of their own cars for: - longer journey times - already crowded conditions (even more crowded if so many switched over to it) - higher cost in a lot of cases - rain, wind, waiting around, etc. - risk to safety - see Caprices thread.

mega_monty Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Originally posted by Sidla Not really, it would be an encouragement to switch to public transport. Hardly an encouragement, so are you suguesting that service engineers, utility workers etc, transport their tools, goods, equipment, ladders, cement mixers, drills etc on public transport?
