Quite true - The other day I saw a Bentley Flying Spur trying to squeeze in between a ditch by the side of the road and a rickshaw, with a M800 honking madly behind her. Dont think I would get to see this sight anywhere else

Though I agree with the concept of restricting certain vehicles to certain sections of the city/highway. The air-powered car should not be allowed to enter any highway - it could be very dangerous. Ditto for all those assorted set of 3 wheelers dotting the rural landscape.
