It's bigger and bigger, more energy hungry cars 'because safety' on a moribund planet.

Apparently you can't fit a driver and 3 kids (with football kit) in a normal sized car. Give me strength.

Besides anything else regarding the climate, the roads are littered with cars that are too big for most of the roads and certainly most of the parking spaces. They are often driven by people who lack the skill to safely manoeuvre these huge beasts, causing congestion and wasting everyone's time. I say tax the **** out of them.

Dame Henrietta Moore gave a talk at our place last week on cars.

1.6bn cars globally.

One person killed every 26 seconds by a car.

22% of London households don't own a car, increasing to 40% amongst the poorest households.

Integrated transport systems seems to be the way to go with places like Portsmouth increasing bus use by 22% after an overhaul of their system.

What annoys me is how big electric cars seem to be. Surely that has to take some of the environmental benefit of them away?

Not all of them. There are plenty of smaller electric cars. Trouble is that current battery tech means that if you want long range you need more volume, so those smaller cars have a limited range (still 250 miles for a R5).

On a Monday morning with three boys, three school bags, three sports kits, and a trumpet thrown in the boot there isn't even room in the car for the dog!"

Ok, her goes.

Dog goes in boot
Bags on boys laps.

Sports kit either by her kids feet or, and I’m simply assuming that she doesn’t have an extinct Dire wolf then remaining sports kit can also go in boot. Trumpet in the middle of the car.

Is this too controversial a solution?

It does; it's simple physics.

E = ⁠⁠1/2.mv^2

Unfortunately, like with token recycling whilst consuming loads, people either unwittingly or disingenuously say "I've got an electric car so it doesn't matter".

We're just not taking responsibility for our own demise.

It's our kids who will pay most of the price.

What surprises me is the amount of people driving whilst holding a mobile phone to their ear when they have built in Bluetooth or they can’t reverse in or out of a parking space without doing a ten point manoeuvre when they have reversing cameras!!!

Maybe the car needs to tow the horse box to the open fields they love to use in Chelsea?
