I am German and this is true. And usually. People do it. No one does it until someone starts and then everyone does it.
Yes, usually nobody drives through it.
I wonder how many countries this would not work in.

How about a visit to an amazing automotive museum? This one is in Los Angeles, it's called the Petersen and if you're in LA, do put aside a day to go visit this place. Gorgeous building, incredible collection. Buy a pass to enter the Vault, no cameras allowed but you get to see more of their collection, tucked in the basement. All sorts of vehicles!

Race cars! I'll label the ones I have details of, in this thread. No idea about these.

“full logs for an hour’s driving equated to more than 1,100 gigabytes”

Wow! That’s insane! How is that possible?!

Has anyone here driven the Fiat 500e?
I churned out yet another crap video, but I really did enjoy driving this microbe.
It's not the cheapest (or fastest) EV around but it's so adorable I just don't care!

The change to electric cars is going to be almost as fast as Sweden changing from left- to right lane driving back in 1967

In only 12 years 100 % of all new cars in EU will be electric

JohanEmpa,

All these countries switched the side of driving, except the blue and red ones. Blue was always left lane and red always right lane.

JohanEmpa,

Wonder if it would be possible for Ireland and UK to switch side of driving?

It should be relatively easy to do these days. We have computers to simulate the whole thing. Easy to find where roads have to be modified. Moving signs is just a practical task.

I keep thinking back to this Microlino at Fully Charged Live. Reusable water bottles became acceptable, being vegan is now cool, and so is wearing vintage clothes. So who is going to step up to the critical task of making small cars fashionable? The trend towards giant SUVs is ludicrous, incredibly wasteful and dangerous, and bad for our cities. If you must use a car, it should be as small as possible. Where are the micro-car visionaries/influencers? WE NEED YOU. #cars #SUV #climate

cragsand,

@helenczerski I gotta repost @notjustbikes excellent video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo

What must come hand in hand is infrastructure and regulations that are friendly for smaller vehicles. The large dangerous trucks should be heavily taxed to discourage their use, not get subsidies. This unfortunately isn't the case in many places of the world.

When the majority of drivers choose to drive ridiculously large vehicles it also forces others to get larger ones just for their own safety. Even if they would otherwise drive smaller vehicles.

It's sadly a terrible negative feedback loop. I could go on but it's already perfectly summarized in NJB video.

Also this haha:

BernieWonIowa,

@helenczerski

It would help if small vehicles didn't look like Calvin's parent's car from #CalvinAndHobbes

It would also be cool if cities started blocking more neighborhoods to car traffic altogether.
