Omeda PHEV which boasts a 0-60 of around 5.5 seconds, pretty much instant response, and recently car designers have decided to go with full torque from start, whereas initially they mapped them to make them a bit tamer.

"it would begin to accelerate if a certain pedal was pressed whilst it was stationary". It's known as an accelerator pedal. Not knowing how your car works is NOT a defence, but an admission of guilt. Just a 2 year ban, but no extended retest. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

0-60 in less than 6 seconds???? FFS why does any vehicle on the public highway need that sort of acceleration??? That's terrifying.

Back in the day, if you bought a Porsche or similar, the dealer would strongly advise you to have some training. Now high performance cars are being sold to drivers who last had instruction 40 years ago for shopping. Even standard ICE car performance has increased a lot over the last 15 years.

While many drivers are careful and considerate, I see a huge amount of dangerous and aggressive driving on London's roads - and very little enforcement. Drivers aren't worse than other road users. But motor vehicles do far more damage than other machines when poorly controlled or recklessly driven.

The Dutch don't just build cycle tracks, they build cycle networks. Over motorways, under junctions, then branching off to the gym, football pitches & other local destinations. Safe, direct routes connecting the places people need to go. This is how you make cycling a normal part of everyday life.
