I READ Mr Horne's letter with interest (August 29). It seems that the motor car was responsible for both world wars, the onset of AIDS and sank the Titanic and therefore should be banned.

As a motorist, I have had quite enough of Mr Horne's anti-car rants and suggest that next time he comes up with an alternative, or does he propose we all sit at home watching the rubbish that passes for entertainment these days?
