I get up at 4, leave before 5:30 and start at 6. It's dark most of the year so it's hard to sympathize with them.

When it's light, my kids and I can bike/scooter to their bus stop. In the dark, it's too dangerous because of all the wankers who think the the 25 limit doesn't apply to them because it's hard to control the speed when you're talking on the phone, adjusting your tie, reading the paper, drinking coffee and eating a donut and besides who can see you speeding in the dark. So we have to drive, which actually takes longer, never mind all the environmental downfalls.

Yeah, that sucks. The people I saw whining on the news were just complaining about getting up in the dark. I don't think they had even contemplated the going places issues.
