Title: (American) legal framework gives drivers a headstart over public transport? Post by: grahame on July 11, 2019, 09:56:03 From The Atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/car-crashes-arent-always-unavoidable/592447/) - a story from the USA and a very interesting read indeed that has similarities (? - discuss) in the UK.
Quote Americans Shouldn’t Have to Drive, but the Law Insists on It The automobile took over because the legal system helped squeeze out the alternatives. JUL 9, 2019 Gregory H. Shill Law professor Not a UK story but I'm really going to encourage readers to take a look at this story ... and there may be some in-depth follow ups unless I'm very much mistaken!

Some of the things raised apply equally in this country, although I am pleased to say that the 85% speed limit rule no longer applies and local authorities can now set their own policies on speed limits.
