"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised 'for the good of its victims' may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

An economically and socially damaging initiative which will, in the unlikely event that enough numptys participate, cause distress, inconvenience and resentment to the majority of the population. I am sure that the relatives of those who die because an ambulance or fire appliance can't get through will sympathise with the objectives of this piece of nonsense.
