Spokesperson for Transport 2000 Steve Hounsham said: “Everyone is
talking about how to reduce car use, cut climate change emissions
and make the roads safer but, to quote in perhaps its own language,
Top Gear effectively sticks up its fingers to this.
“There is a strong danger that it encourages irresponsible motorist
behaviour and it therefore has no place in public service
broadcasting. We want to see Top Gear taken off the screens. It is
irresponsible, out-dated television designed to give comfort to boy
racers, ‘petrolheads’ and those from the ‘get out of my way’ school
of driving. We would like to see it replaced with a new programme –
perhaps called Third Gear – that promotes sensible driving in
sensible vehicles.
=================================================================
All the above seems entirely fair to me.
Quoted message said:What are Transport 2000 famous for?
Annoying the likes of Mr C.
=================================================================
.... In an infamous episode, Jeremy Clarkson tore up on camera
information from Transport 2000’s website presenting the dangers of
speed.

Transport 2000 are not a one man band.
