Here's an idea for those stupid people in government that run our country.
How to save everyone $$ and the planet fossil fuel.
We all need transport especially in this convoluted city of Sydney.
If we had more choice we would use that choice.
Due to the high cost of rego and CTP insurance we tend to only have one or two vehicles.
So if you own a gas guzzling SUV like I do as you need it for xxxx in my case taking four of my mates and all our gear mountain bike riding going to the tip surfing etc you get the picture.
If I want to go Woolies for some
and its raining I use the truck = waste of fuel and money right.
If we all could own more vehicles that were more specific to the journey we take, a 125 scooter or small bike to nip down to the shops , a 4 x 4 for some dirty fun on the weekends, a big block V8...... well just because
, a Monster a sports bike . We would use the appropriate transport for each journey.
By owning more vehicles we add to the economy in many ways...............so all they have to do is
make a blanket rego / insurance for each person/house that covers all their vehicles , basically you can only use one at a time. Bingo you can have your cake and eat it too ,
I would love to have an options .
Jump on the scooter to work or the shops jump on the Monster for Coffee up the Old road .
All it takes is some lateral and creative thinking something that Government seems to be in short supply off.
For crying out loud we are in 2012
Donning cynic's hat ......oh that's right its all about the tax revenue not the people
Wednesdays rant.
