In my experience, most people who buy EV's already have 'blinkers' themselves!

I have come across a few entitled Tesla drivers who think as they are saving the planet, they can hog the righthand lane on the freeway and one who thought speed limits didn't apply to him, I watched him zoom along for miles of rolling hills on the way to my place one night.

Umm……

If he was Zooming that quick, wouldn’t you have lost sight of him very quickly?

Or were you zooming also? (Tic)

I know when I’m zooming, nothing behind me is visible in about 90 seconds

ICE has never had the doubters, sceptics or science proving it is a dumb idea like EV’s has. Your farm has changed dramatically over only a few generations - thank ICE for that, EV’s themselves wouldn’t exist without ICE vehicles.

Again I’ll get labeled as an EV hater but I’m not, they have a great role to play in a mix of different power options in the future but I can’t stomach anyone that uses this argument - it just doesn’t add up.

Sorry - rant over.

You don't like horses? They were big manly ones, if that helps.

Edit a few entitled Tesla drivers who think as they are saving the planet, they can hog the righthand lane on the freeway and one who thought speed (High Speed and far too slow speed) limits didn't apply to him /Her, He, She, It, I, They, Us, Moi

I had 20 odd cars behind me for a while until an overtaking place got me past a VIP at 65 in a 100kph road. That kind of tail is not my favorite place
Another 1000km+ of low cost yet not making the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP)
range
Hit the Western end of the Great Ocean road on the way home. Big head spin as Loch Ard Gorge steps are no longer. Apparently a million plus people on old wooden stairs was not considered safe It was well hidden and had to ask a tour guide to see if I was going nuts. Had my kids down on the beach not that long ago. I would need my boat to get them their now.
