Car Covers

[Duncan Grimmond]

Insurance companies don't like people who have to park on the street. Unfortunately a garage seems to be essential if you want insurance you can afford. This rules out so many who live in villages and larger towns where housing was built for a workforce who could only dream of personal transport. Our village High Street is only just wide enough for an ox-cart because that was the largest vehicle likely to need thoroughfare. I regularly see huge cattle/sheep wagons inching past each other and herringbone tractor tyre tracks actually touching threshold weather bars. Windowboxes are regularly torn off.
Urban areas, built before mass car ownership, that had wide streets now have to live with single car road width as both sides of most streets are blocked by cars...
Bring back cycling !!!
