Youths throwing debris from road bridges, aiming at the cars below, are committing a senseless crime that can injure or even kill drivers.

A survey by motor trade estate agent Gilbran found 86 per cent of car owners want vehicle makers to provide "easy-to-understand infor÷mation on the environmental performance and impact of cars".
It"s a strategy already adopted by the forthcoming Sexy Green Motor Show at the Eden Project in Corn÷wall. "Brands providing this informa÷tion will win the battle for buyers," said Gilbran boss Nigel Smith.
Meanwhile, Govern÷ment plans to help drivers choose the greenest motor were thrown into disarray when the launch of a dedicated website was cancelled only 16 hours before it was due to go live.
The page at www.actonco2.co.uk was to list the top 10 eco-friendly cars in each sector, but many details were inaccurate. "This is meant to be the Government"s flagship policy on helping drivers, and it"s in tatters," said an industry insider. A Depart÷ment for Transport spokesman told us: "We hope it will launch soon."
