I am a little fascinated by electric cars, I have my head turned when I see one on the road, they are still a novelty to me. I don’t think the boring nature of cars is down to the power source but the evolution of traffic management. However I would still rather do a steady 50mph than do 80mph then have to sit in a tailback for an hour. I guess progress is always a little boring.
I blame the fun being taken out of driving on Maurice Gatsonides, the inventor of the Gatso camera, it all started to go downhill from there.
