Tangos on cover of publication distributed to European Government decision makers

Two Tangos sharing a lane at 65 mph is the cover art for the Government publication going out to over 200,000 decision makers all over Europe. Please see linked 4-page article:

This article demonstrates how for less than 1/10th the cost and 1/10th the time, transportation infrastructure problems similar to the Boston Big Dig could be solved by simply giving away commuter cars like the Tango. Furthermore, as Auckland, NZ city council member Toa Greening points out, it could be done at no long-term cost at all, but would rather be an investment that is paid back by renting these cars to commuters who would benefit by getting to work many times faster, safer, more conveniently (considering parking) and having more fun doing it.

Auckland New Zealand may be the first city to implement the most cost-effective solution to commuter transportation problems and the fiscal problems associated with them.

Auckland New Zealand may be the first city to realize that it can be 10 times less expensive and 10 times faster to purchase and lease Tangos to commuters rather than spend tens of $billions of taxpayer funds on more freeways and other transportation infrastructure.

It's kind of like this Tibetan story of two guys walking along on rocky ground, before shoes had been invented. One said" Wouldn't it be nice if we could cover the world with leather." The other said, "Why don't we just cover our feet."

Lanesplitting

I heard yesterday that lanesplitting was in the news in California. I tried to find it online, but only found that the CHP was defining what is considered safe lanesplitting.  Click here for: California Highway Patrol Web Page on Lanesplitting
I, of course, feel that it's only safe if done in a Tango, which is narrower than many motorcycles, and can react more quickly, as proved in the Consumer Reports emergency lane change test during the Automotive X-prize competition.
Imagine the reduction in traffic and parking congestion if single-occupant commuters started using the right tool for the job! The Tango fits in half a lane with more clearance than a truck has in a full lane.
