A Chelsea Tractor-hating mother of three has said that she covertly deflates SUV tires as retaliation for her neighborhood’s pollution.
The 62-year-old, who requested anonymity, claims to have let air out of 80 different automobiles in west London, and she doesn’t care whether she is discovered.
The writer, volunteer, and film worker has taken “destructive” action because she is tired of automobiles “imposing” on her.
She first developed a dislike for big vehicles when she “couldn’t believe” the sheer number of 4×4 vehicles she was witnessing on London’s roadways.
According to MyLondon, the lady from close to Battersea in south London said that she had previously been caught in the act by the owners of the cars but has so far managed to escape getting into problems.
I estimate that I have deflated 80 different automobiles so far. Although I don’t love it and I don’t want to be doing it, she said, “It’s an extreme response that results from desperation.”
What else can we do if the government won’t take action?
The lady explained how, after realizing that tiny Smart Cars weren’t going to be the future of transportation, she began deflating tires around 10 years ago.
Instead, she became irate at the “unnecessary bulk” of the “larger and bigger” autos.
She complained, “I can’t stop the automobiles from damaging the region around me and creating carbon emissions.”
In west London, she allegedly let air out of 80 separate vehicles. Pictured is a vehicle that previously had its tires extinguished.
I spent a lot of time considering what I could do to stop them from being forced upon me. The Tyre Extinguisher movement was then something I learned about.
In an effort to combat climate change, the Tyre Extinguisher organization is infamous for simply deflating the tires of huge cars.
The mother, who has no fear of going to prison, has compared SUV drivers to smokers and called them “aggressive” and “selfish.”
She has also advocated for the outright prohibition of SUVs, just as smoking was.
She intends to keep deflating tires even though it is potentially criminal damage until “the Government notices.”
She’s thought about the possibility of a motorist being hurt, but she thinks SUVs are riskier.
She started by trying to change things by placing flyers on automobiles’ windscreens, but she quickly realized that more was going to be needed.
In an effort to make a message, the 62-year-old now uses her journey to detach the tyre tops.
Despite getting arrested a few times, the lady continues to protest SUVs because she thinks they contribute to climate change.
She related how a guy accosted her after discovering she had her hand on the car’s tyre cap.
She alleges that when she explained her position, he assured her that he “understands where I’m coming from.”
Every day, Tyre Extinguishers tries to get more followers. Their website states that continually deflating tires and urging others to do the same would transform the slight inconvenience of a flat tire into a huge barrier for operating large killer vehicles through our streets.
