Have I got the wrong newsgroup?

I thought this newsgroup was about general UK transport issues. Can
the one person who is obsessed by motorists please keep it to
uk.rec.driving as it will be less off-topic there.

Thanks Doug

If the motorists who dominate this transport newsgroup move to
uk.rec.driving and confine themselves to slagging off peds, cyclists
and public transport there instead of here then I will desist.

What gives you the right to dominate the topics of conversation in this NG?
