If the road was a thirty going into a forty and now it's no longer forty, just taking the sign away that changed it to 40 is all that is necessary.

"The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) reported 23 fires in 611,000 EVs during 2022, or 0.004 per cent in a year, which makes it 20 times less likely to happen than ICE car fires, which burned 3,400 times in 4.4 million cars, or 0.08 per cent" Whichever group you look at fires are rare. They just make big news.

"So unless I have some genetic deformity and have grown 2 right arms, how can disabled drivers press the brake AND select a gear at the same time???" If the vehicle had "autohold" on the handbrake would that not allow for that in an automatic?

Sun Cable, owned by billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, said the approval was “a vote of confidence” in the project.
