Keep in mind, poor drivers are job security for brake shops, auto body repair, etc...I am a retired Petroleum Engineer from Oklahoma. Your energy perspective is extremely enlightening. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much, this means a lot! You're right, mechanics must make a living, too. :) Sometimes accidents are unavoidable but any form of encouraging them, even unwittingly, is not a good thing.
This is a hilarious justification for literally everything a local government would have a desire to do!
Building a new hospital in a neighborhood to reduce emissions, adding sidewalks to reduce emissions, plowing the streets in the winter to reduce emissions. Heck, why not throw in a public park while we’re at it. It sounds like a great way to get the EU to subsidize everything, which means the money is FREE!
I'm not convinced other countries within the EU are any more advanced in terms of promoting driving efficiency, from what I see in France, Germany, Belgium, Italy.....not picking on any country - but generally this is not a key area of focus. There are some small legal rules (Germany and Luxembourg I think do have these) that you cannot start your car in cold weather just to accelerate defrosting the windscreen or warming up the car inside with the heating - but people don't respect these at all.

I had not thought about that! What an absolutely brilliant idea! :D

That sounds like the law here not to use tap water for watering the garden. Go catch all the people who do it, even in a single village...
I've just commented on a later article about changing the narrative... but this article looks like things ade going the other way😢
They will start changing it, sooner or later, but they probably won't give up on the emissions fixation.
