Re: Segways banned in Britain

think a little bit outside the box here, it probably not the apparent "danger" from a segway but the money they get- you pay a congestion charge to sit in ken livingston's traffic jams every day (8 pounds i believe) and the taxes from the gas you use. while they do waive the congestion charge for hybrids- they still use gas and the cars are so overpriced anyways that the taxes from them cover it. anyone who reads this should look up the peel p50: 106mpg from a 49cc moped engine, it has to pay congestion charge while a lexus hybrid suv at ~30mpg doesnt.
