It 100% matters if you claim to sincerely hold a strong view that on the evidence available nobody can find a single example if you mentioning before the current “war on the motorist” became Conservative propaganda.

It also rings incredibly hollow your faux concerns around pollution given your many posts on the matter downplaying the issue.

Is there any evidence to support your claim people will “abandon” their cars in areas of 20mph limits versus those in 30mph limits? I’m more likely to think people will abandon their cars because of the biggest real terms drop in living standards since World War 2 but that’s probably my unconscious bias towards economics.
Once again, you are responding to arguments I haven’t made. The pollution issue is one of the reasons to justify the lower speed limit. Whether I believe that we should reduce pollution is irrelevant, although of course I am. It’s the link to climate change I am sceptical about.

I didn’t say that people would abandon their cars, did I? I said that this was the goal of the anti-car brigade.

You really must learn to read posts properly and dampen your fervent imagination.
