Doesn't breathing car exhaust also lead to health problems? How come I can't walk down the street, or ride my bike, without breathing car exhaust? I swore as a child that when I grew up I would move to where there isn't so much car exhaust, but I guess there really isn't anywhere to go to escape it.. Yet they ignore that, and stress second hand cigarette smoke as dangerous?. Breathing car exhaust must be as bad, or worse, than second hand tobacco smoke. How about banning cars from the city center? They do it in Singapore. But maybe that would alienate voters, most of who could never live without their cars...
Answer
Girl there are plenty of places with less car exhaust, move to Singapore, just kidding. How about the country or the mountains or closer rural areas. Laws get passed from the idea of a single person that got the ball rolling, write to your senator, congressman and any other officials you can think of, get the ball rolling to get legislation passed for improved car emissions, less traffic in the city, tougher smog laws, etc anything you can think of to make things better, you're writing to the wrong forum.

A true story with a nice mix of emotion and motorcycles.
At a sneak preview of this movie in Burt Munro 's hometown - Invercargill, I noticed at the end that many of the men had moist eyes -not that the film is weepy or sycophantic in any way - it's simply inspirational.
The hero/underdog here is a social misfit, a self-confessed dirty old man but a lovable one. He loves the ladies and he loves speeding on his vintage Indian Scout "modified somewhat" along the open beach of Invercargill in Southern New Zealand.
Until recently, beach bike racers contested the Burt Munro Trophy and Burt's 1967 record at Bonneville still stands. There is talk of restarting these races soon.
Anthony Hopkins manages to master the problematic Kiwi accent to deliver a touching, funny and realistic depiction of Burt in his quest to be the fastest thing on two wheels. Sir Anthony said that it's the best thing he's ever done and it's hard to disagree based on his laconic and lovable portrayal.
Outstanding cameos by the likes of Annie Whittle and Diane Ladd simply add depth and verisimilitude to the film.
Complete and convincing performances that warm the heart and show true humanity shining through.
The cinematography is clear and precise, the action scenes are mercifully free of special effects.
A new classic from Roger Donaldson.
