Ok, so maybe Banning trucks all together is crap Idea, but at least make the rigs bigger to carry more stuff, and maybe give them there own lanes or something.... lets face it how many jams and accedents are caused by to "mating Hippos" (2 Trucks, 1 overtaking the over at .0056MPH faster)
Give them 2 lanes of their own, make the riggs bigger, and for very long distance, stick it on a boat or train.
In Calne (where I live) there is a Road, called Station Road (the road I live down) guess what used to be down there..... thats correct, a Station. That Station used to carry paying passengers up until 1967. it used to take 3-500 people a DAY in and out of Calne, and connect to the GWR at Chippenham. Now I have to drive, 10 miles of virtual stationary traffic takes me 45 Mins...!
Now Calne is quite small, but back then there was a meat factory, a Paper Mill, and a big grain Processing Plant. those good where shiiped in and out by rail.
Now we have to put up with Lorries (got nothing against them, they have there place, but on the open road, no in towns), double decker busses with 3 people and a tramps dog on it, and countless 4x4's clogging up the road to take little jonny and sarah snot, to the posh school in Calne... from Chippenham....
This Country is backwards, we used to own half the world, lay
This country has no infrastructure, it a right shit pit!
I got to say that I have been looking to emigrate... needs a lot of dosh though, but if we ever got any I'd be off too.
