An anti-car rant

Spotted in the Indie on Saturday. Now I don't really know of Howard
Jacobson, but it does seem extreme to compare Americans & their gun
culture with the rest of us and our "love of cars".

His conclusion:

"For starters, then, no one under 21 to be allowed behind a wheel, and
whoever breaks that law, or drives recklessly at any age, to be banned
from driving for life. Not a fortnight, life. For our lives are their
playthings. And should we catch them driving after that, we cut off the
foot that presses the accelerator.

If you find this too draconian, fine, that's your human right - but you
cannot now occupy the moral high ground when it comes to Americans and
their guns."
