A while back an #environment activist on here (alas, their toot disappeared in timeline) was trying to work out how many people in UK regularly #drive - it is hard to get accurate data!
There are about 34 million private #cars in UK of 42 million #vehicles including #vans, #lorries, #buses, #motorcyles and anything else that needs registration mark from #DVLA GB or #DVA NI
About 43 million people in GB (excluding NI) hold a full #DrivingLicence - but not reliable data for number of drivers as these records include people who have died or emigrated!
And some folk own more than one #vehicle, others have a licence but don't drive - I'd guess at figure for private car drivers being around 25-30 million, but levels of #motoring will vary wildly between regions

Balkan lorry drivers blockade EU borders over visa curbs.
Lorry drivers from four Western Balkan countries blockaded more than 20 border crossings with the EU on Monday in protests against strict enforcement of Schengen travel limits they say threaten their livelihoods.
The blockade causes €100 million daily export losses, according to officials.

Folk on #UK #car / #motoring forums are going apeshit about plans by #Scotland plans to reduce #SpeedLimits for smaller #cars on single-carriageway #roads (but to increase them for #lorries / #HGV to the same limits as #England )
I suspect a lot of these #drivers have got used to treating rural roads as their personal racetrack, and are annoyed that #PoliceScotland may be taking more action against #speeding

"EU Policy. End of the line for #diesel-powered #lorries and buses
The EU has taken another significant step in its efforts to clean up road #transport, with a political agreement on CO2 standards for #trucks and #buses that amounts to a near-complete phase-out of diesel-powered models by 2040."

Scania are testing a lorry which is covered in solar panels. The panels should generate enough power to propel it 5,000 km in Sweden, but maybe as many as 10,000 km in Spain. And that number could increase as more efficient panels are used.

Longer lorries to be allowed on Britain's roads
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65533993
Bad move. The UK is small, not designed for juggernauts.
Increased problems for cyclists, pedestrians, narrow lanes and villages.
Cut the carbon footprint. Avoid transportation as much as possible. Use rail or go local.
"Ministers insist they are safe". Yeh, right. They say many things to get their way.
