Carless days
Sir, — The enforcement of the earless day regulations is so rigid that they are unreasonable. As Tuesday is my earless day, my HOOcc car was taken to a garage on Monday for repair. Repairs were completed on Tuesday and as I need the car on Wednesday I elected to drive it the five miles home. I was informed that to do so would break the law. The garage would deliver it for me at a charge for time and mileage. As this would involve the use of another vehicle I considered that to be uneconomical so applied for a permit to take my car from the garage to home. This was not allowed as it did not constitute an emergency because other methods were available, namely the use of garage facilities. The other alternative was to tow the car home. This would involve the use of a 2500 cc car and a double trip. — Yours, etc., A. PFAHLERT. February 18, 1980.
