With no phone/tablet/laptop how are you going to look at them?
Print them out and/or memorise (as much as you can) them.

I wouldn't mind betting there's an element of truth there. The orange man child would do it out of spite.

That happens here (Hertford, UK) all too often as well. Entitled people park where they like.
I was in the post office the other week, a woman in front of me was paying some parking tickets (via postal order) for her husband. Apparently he can afford it and it doesn't bother him.

Personally I think after a certain number, the car should be taken and crushed. That will bother him.

I loved Peppermint. Has it been updated/does it work?
Used to use it but it crapped out on me and last couple of versions haven't worked or had printer issues.

Just another reason to make them even more scary.

It's dock for ships of the Jupiter Mining Corporation.

I've seen a small woman driving a Hummer in Ware (Hertfordshire UK) of all places, can just about see out of the windows (that's another thing that pisses me off, don't people know you can raise the seat to let you see out of the windows?), can't park in normal bays as it's too big (and she can't see) and it has a plate something like V8 HMR. FFS.

Exactly.

To quote Ramsay Bolton, 'If you think this is going to end well, you haven't been paying attention'.

If the driver wasn’t expecting it to stop, then they weren’t paying enough attention to the road in front of them

And that hot coffee will be all over the place. Tough.

Was going to ask the same question - cruise control is for open roads like motorways. Not around town. No wonder they had issues with it.

So they're not looking for eddies in the space-time continuum then?

Of course they are. As the article.rightly point out, electric vans are too expensive, and charging infrastructure just isn't there yet. Because the government wanted it all on the cheap and didn't have a plan.

There will also be a small diehard faction that think it's not 'manly'. The sort of people you get (in the states they have guns as well) with their overcompensating enormous pickups.

I've just thought of another benefit of electric vehicles, no more drive offs with a tank of fuel at filling stations.
