Jesus!
A bunch of enviormnentalists have invaded my high school! They didnt come in for the day they are here for the week! 3 hours a day of their crazy shit!
What they basiclly told us is that the blame for global warming can be laid entirely at the door of Land Rover whose cars, we keep being told, are putting a brake on the Gulf Stream, melting the snow on Kilimanjaro and peppering the southern oceans with icebergs the size of Texas.
After that we were told a story of a young kind who somehow managed to total a 2004 3 series while doing 100kph on a straight road after crashing into a lamp post. He killed himself and another 2 people in the car.
Then they told us to use public transport and save the planet!
OMG! If only I had clarkson with me 8)
They also told us that we sould always drive a little below the speed limit and keep a safe distance from cars in front of us. Now about keeping a distance i agree 100% but driving below the speed limit!?!? I really dont think some extra speed can do much damage. Plus, if the road is good and there is a good distance between you and the car ahed then whats wrong with driving a little but faster?
What I want is your opinion. Does speed really cause a lot of accidents? Do cars really kill our planet? Just give me anything I can throw back at these idiots.
thanks a lot.
one last thing i read james piece in the last top gear mag and that was a big help
