Well the carbon footprint of an average US person is 16 tones per year. So i suppose that safety aspect makes them even better for the environment  >:D

I assume you achieved Mac 1 when you were off road on a runway?
One question, how fast can it stop? Or is it another one of those, get out of my way as I am saving the planet and I therefore have the right to ignore all road markings, road users and people on the sidewalk, electric contraptions?

All depends on the mood of the copper.To make things more fun you can legally use one in certain areas if you rent it.,but cant use one on the same roads if you own it.

I realised I was getting old when I discovered that you could use a phone app, to pay someone to bring your fast food from a restaurant to your front doorstep.

phones are great. Been ordering delivered food for decades; the app is a MINOR convenience, marketed as if they split the atom. Bloke picks up bag, gets in car and drives food to me.... except now the middle men @ the app service charge the outlet, and me, 35% MORE than if I'd ordered direct by phone and paid cash.

I use "Just Eat" app all the time, but let's not pretend its some "revolution", it is just middle men cashing in on slobbish lazy consumers who are "too busy" on their sofas to cook.
