    Having rules that disabled people (or people driving them) get exceptions is something I’d take as a given within EU countries (UK still has EU values mostly so they’re included when I say EU)

    The main issue we need to solve is the 9 to 5 people who could go to work with a fiat 500 instead taking a Ford F150 because 🤏 instead of any practical reason.

    Higher cars are generally very unsafe for pedestrians AND people driving smaller cars (which encourages those people to also buy bigger cars) while also being less safe for the people in them (main reason people but them is cause they “feel more safe”)

    It’d be environmentally and socially better to have smaller cars.

      A lot of EU laws still apply to Northern Ireland anyway, so in most cases, EU standards and attitudes get applied to the UK anyway. Like the iPhone changes.
