Addison Lee: Weren't / aren't they the ones who employed drivers with no regard whatsoever for other road users or the laws pertaining to the use of the Queen's Highway ?

OT, 

but if the Conservative & Unionists or Ex MP's, Ministers or Prime Ministers have any interest in Addison Lee the HRH and family will likely have some money in there as well.

Sir John Major was made a Special Legal Guardian to Prince William & Harry so he maybe made sure they had good advice where to have their inheritance invested.

Maybe they have shares in the Carlyle Group, i would think their dad will have with his close friendship with the House of Saud.

 

Britain is open for business, very open and everything is for sale at the right price.

 

I see the former UK Secretary of state for defence Sir Michael Fallon MP has a new part time job.

People living in glass houses should not throw stones and people that use cabs and private hire vehicles should know Big Brother has been here for a long time now.

If the driverless car is involved in an accident and you didn’t actually see it, I wonder how the insurance company is going to treat a claim ............or their attitude in general -

Europe's first full-sized self-driving bus will be demonstrated in Glasgow today & tomorrow.

(not on an open public highway!)

 

Makes sense for the use they intend them travelling across the Forth using the Forth Road Bridge.

No idea where the SMMT think all the new connected vehicles are coming from in 5 years and all the unconnected are going to give a 95% of vehicles being connected.   Likely they messed up the figures the way they usually do and it should be 2035 or 2045.

I might need an Autonomous car or a chauffeur.

Got the NIP in from a week past Tuesday, 50mph in a 40.  I did think it would be 45mph in a 40.

Then today pretty sure that a Long Range Speed Camera will have got me before i spotted the van up on a flyover.

Not in my car so going to have to wait a while to know on that one.

The Driverless bus Service Stagecoach run the 14 mile route across the Forth Bridge from a Park & Ride in Fife to the Edinburgh Park Transport Hub is being ended in February.

A lack of passengers. 

The 5 busses require up to 2 drivers at all times.  

 

They are proud etc etc having demonstrated......    Demonstrated that they can blow money very easily.
