Do most Americans even own their car anyway? I was under the impression most were on finance/leased.

At John Wayne the sharp turn is to avoid directly overflying built-up areas. That's not really possible at Heathrow, London is everywhere.

But if the split of upstream/downstream traffic was roughly 50:50, the time you gained going downstream you'd cancel out on the return journey.

> The plan was to bring the banks closer together, and by narrowing the width of the river, speed up the current, making boat passage much faster. Probably a stupid question, but what about the people who want to travel upstream?

Freedom of movement doesn't mean without a passport, it means as a UK employer I can employ any EU citizen just as easily as I could a UK citizen. Completely separate from Schengen. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

That's really interesting. In London a lot of bus lanes are enforced with fixed cameras pointing at the lanes. It means even just ducking into the lane to get past a stopped car can result in a ticket. It makes so much more sense to ha

Ditto with a Drift HD Ghost, although the Contour cameras seem like they have an even better form factor. I like the fact that the Drift is waterproof out of the box too, no case needed.

The only advantage I could think of is that he could be out and about, have an order come through and pick up a scooter to make the delivery. Rather than be tied to wherever his personal scooter is.
