I'm not doing much reporting, but I'll be working with some resources to help others make the roads safer. Are we all back here, or is the platform deserted?
I don't feel like reporting, tbh. I'd much rather had @LBHF and @RBKC install AI anti-phone cameras on Kings Road and Wandsworth Bridge Road and take share of the fines from @metpoliceuk. Too many drivers on devices recently.
1/n It started over 12 years ago, when I did not set my feet on that land yet (1 year later, blue passport in hand, taxes paid here since). I would never imagine it would lead to interviewing @theJeremyVine, @MikeyCycling and many other...
3/n It's one of the reasons the book has "Retreat" in the title. It's why I dig into link of rightfulness and danger since. I'm far in discovery mode, thinking about more narrative than research oriented take on traits imho loads of people like me share.
Why would so many tradespeople rather risk children's lives than use hands-free or park to call safely?
If the Dutch-style roundabout with standard markings that have been in HC forever is confusing, the problem is behind the wheel. When did we stop teaching people to think? dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
Please avoid East Putney. It's grid locked. Thought and prayers to the family of the victim. On this road it just waited to happen.
Reports of a hit and run at East Putney Station in London - one of the wealthiest parts of London is now experiencing Enrichment thanks to @MayorofLondon the shitty @Conservatives the lame @UKLabour party and the corrupt @metpoliceuk and @ukhomeoffice
The driver found guilty. Would face 6 month ban, but appropriately judge limited it to shorter period. While repeat offender that was the most decent driver I ever met in the court. We shook hands and wished each other best. Good people can do bad things behind the wheel.
At the magistrates again today. Will they plead guilty before they summon me, or will we play the bingo card?

This is what I see each day in London. Zombies glued to their phones. Not sure what will get them first - a crash or the brain rot.
Imagine getting hit as a pedestrian or cyclist by an irresponsible driver like this—too busy texting to care about your safety.

Last night had a series of a small 🍆 energy overtakes. In most cases most affected was driver from the opposite direction. Is it some epidemic of threadworms that they can't sit and wait patiently for a safe moment to pass?

2nd report this year. I tend to avoid, but after leaving a four-car length gap (moment before this clip) in the heavy traffic and scrolling while being aware of the camera I decided it's FAFO.
Another driver who wants to pay more after visiting the court:
- silly easy to prove close pass
- clearly visible on footage forcing other driver to stop
I bet the argument will be "yOu w3rE iN tH3 mIdDlE o4 tH3 roAd"
