We often discuss some important issues in motoring here - like appalling public transport, high train fare, lack of road manners, speed limit inappropriate for road, incompetent DVLA etc. etc.

Mostly we just vent our rant and forget everything soon, till someone again raises the topic.

We are comprised of decent people, coming from different social and professional backgrounds.

Can we unite and try to influence laws/rules to be amended?

If we can do something, I believe it will the best thing a car enthusiast can be proud of.

May be HJ can help us?

TBH I'm going to be very negative and say a catagoric No! The Gov of the time will do whatever it wants and stuff the punter, best example is that site the Gov set up where you could do a petition and tell them what you thought... millions of votes and did they take any notice? Did they heck!

Maybe theres a slight chance at local level...

I agree with b308, The goverment will follow its own agenda whatever shade of red, blue, or green it is. I dont believe a word they say before an election, and am not surprised when they invariably forget their pledges after one.

So do I, as things stand. However, private and commercial users together represent a huge consituency and the party announcing a strongly favourable and credible plan for us could have great leverage in the coming election. I fear we are too docile to take direct action.
