Electric cars

[crazy canuck]

Right you are, the article says they crossed "outside a crosswalk". But that also does not mean that they walked into traffic. There may have been no traffic when they started to cross - which one assumes.

In any event, it still does not explain why there would be criminal charges against the parents for this. Given the thousands of instances of J walking I see on my way to work, there would be a lot of people in prison.

Valmy is on point.  One can find things wrong in a case like this...sure.  But it is being blown out of proportion in the idea that one must always find blame...or a villain as he said.  Even the elderly driver may not be the villain here (whether she should be driving can be another question sure)...sometimes a tragedy is just a tragedy.

Looks like I'm back to this 

3 years ago settled on a petrol car. Citroen. This car sucks. I hate it. I've been thinking of a new car in the not too distant future.
Took car for it's MOT today, it has reached an age where it needs a big bit of work done too....and that would cost a fortune. Guy at garage himself recommends selling it.
So I'm stepping up my search a bit. Looking to move into electric. But can't go too small as still have kids car seats to fit.

Something I read says a Volkswagen ID.3 or Mg4 are the ones to look to

What's wrong with a 3 years old car that requires work?

My car is 3 years old, while we don't have inspections, I don't think anything is wrong with it. It's still in it's brand new state.

It's 6/7 year old. Apparently have to replace the timing belt every 6 years or 60k miles - I'm over the time and approaching the mileage.

Also it's a terrible car. Too big and feels liable to go very wrong.

Yeah, 7 years is much different. Now everything is going to fail. 

Any Chinese cars in the UK market bringing prices down?

[Josquius]

Yeah, the MG I've been told to look at is Chinese. Apparently they're not as bad as they used to be. But still....
