Spoof web site: Association of British Drivers

Although this web site is a datamining project to build a statistically valid dataset on vehicle activities in our city, some people seem to think it is some kind of spoof. Not us

If you want to see a spoof site, go to the Association of British Drivers, who only this week have announced that they are going to organise a meeting in Almondsbury (North of Bristol -you'd need to drive there) to complain that Bristol is Anti-Car. One of their complaints is that Cabot Circus is anti-car! That's right, the changes made to the junctions to allow an extra 2500 parking spaces is somehow anti-motorist.

This organisation is not only better at understanding what causes congestion -its the bike and bus lanes- but they actually believe to be better global warming scientists than the entire weather pattern and paelometeorology community, and that it is entirely a big conspiracy. Presumably one by bristol council. A good example here is their Anti Bus lane page, which argues that bus lanes are wrong because people will use buses more, so creating ticketing delays and making journeys worse for public transport travellers.

With such campaigning organisations, there is no need for the Bristol Cycling Campaign to do anything satirical. We just watch.
