The idea is good but i would hazard a guess that a lot of members are grandparents and would have to advise their " children " about the hazards of leaving an engine idling.

I find find deisel engine fumes the worst, even just walking in a town centre.

Hi Puff,

This is a wider campaign not just for HU members, but for the general public.

Hopefully you guys can help spread the word too by mentioning this to friends and family!
