Motoring in the Future

Bracknell's residents are committed to the future and sustainability but, for reasons nobody really understands, they drive everywhere in gargantuan four wheel drive machines designed for jungle warfare or the lower slopes of Icelandic volcanoes. Such vehicles are therefore unsuited for urban roads and car parks but this doesn't matter to the driver. It isn't clear whether Bracknell's love affair with the nuclear powered moon scooter came before its obsession with armoured personnel carriers. One popular theory is that the increase in the number of pedestrians and cyclists suffering from collisions with the absurd vehicles caused them to use moon scooters while recovering from injury and they never went back to their original means of perambulation. The other theory is that the feeling of invulnerability enjoyed by drivers meant that having descended the steps, onto the running board of their bloated vehicle and then down to planet Earth with the rest of us, they were simply unable to cope with the fear caused by the absence of artificial elevation and reinforced steel plus airbags. In any event, here are a few pictures of the sort of psychopathic behaviour that driving one of these monsters can cause in otherwise well adjusted human beings: in this case, parking as inconveniently for everyone as possible.
