The more these electric cars come about, the more chance of it ruffling feathers with disability activists. I can envisage stronger legislation over the coming years to protect pavements from any obstruction, be it cars or charging cables. The debate is starting to open up. Yes, the debate is probably 'opening up', in the comments pages of the Daily Mail/Express. In reality, a good dose of common sense is needed by all.

I haven't seen a single one of these "erected" 3 feet in the air causing a hazard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHasRisen Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) OK so that's one example of one motorist about 80 miles away being a wally and using a wire that's not long enough. How about the millions of other electric or hybrid car owners? Edited August 24, 2023 by HeHasRisen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't stop a numpty trying to use a wire that's clearly not long enough though, but not much you can do about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to admit, making umpteen cuts to funding, passing the cuts on to local councils, then blaming the councils for the failing services, is a very neat bit of Tory buck passing don't you think? Got to hand it to the Tories, when it comes to devious manipulation they are the Masters... got some news for you. .. Nobody wants to pay more tax, nobody.
