This is the latest in UK where they too are 'fighting back for motorists" - let's hope Doug does not start this kind of thing here as he tries (so far amazingly unsuccessfully) to make us forget the stench of corruption hanging over him!
"Rishi Sunak is to prioritise the interests of millions of car owners with a series of measures that will provoke environmentalists and curb the power of local councils.
In a package expected to be announced at the Tory conference on Monday, the prime minister will set out his “plan for motorists” that will limit the number of 20mph speed restrictions and favour drivers over bus passengers.
The move would be hugely controversial, setting ministers on a collision course with local authorities, who rely on their powers to keep bus lanes traffic free.
Sunak’s plan is the latest in a recent series of contentious policy ideas, such as his watering down of net zero targets, designed to revive his government and create clear dividing lines with Labour.
He has also raised the prospect of paring back the hugely over-budget HS2 rail line – though he refused to provide clarity on his plans on Thursday." See: https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ar-use-20mph-speed-limit-traffic-camera-fines
