@jonburkeUK I don’t understand why the jury had to listen to character references. I’m sure she’s really lovely. But she’s clearly a really shit driver & shouldn’t be in control of a 4x4 again. Being nice isn’t the skill we need to control machines.

The size of SUVs, parked on either side of the road, & as one comes towards another one, brings our narrow Balham roads to a standstill most days. These cars do more to clog up roads & delay journeys than any modal filtering.

We should regulate SUVs out of existence

They’re not only awful for the climate, they’re also killing pedestrians, including children in driveways

Ambulance on an emergency and it’s not possible for it to move in this traffic. The media never want to write about these delays & question if everyone being in their own car is causing serious congestion.

Of course Sadiq wins. He’s on the right side of history with ULEZ. Shame on those council leaders who tried and failed to stop progress. Money to burn.

Just as the weather was turning I found this bus stop. It’s on a bend on a 50 mph stretch of the road, no pavement or crossing to get to the other side where the pavement is. Wonder if these decisions are made by people who ever walk or use public transport?

Conservative Immigration minister really sorry about being caught speeding … again. Driving to the speed limit isn’t taken seriously by those in power who set the rules.

A child will grow up without a mother because a man child was showing off how fast he could drive his big new car. She must have been terrified for her life in those final minutes.

Tory MP banned from driving last year after ‘ being caught’ reaching speeds of 70+ mph in a 50 mph is campaigning to put barriers up to slow down people on push bikes. They have no shame.

Nope. He is going to carry on with this unevidenced nonsense.

I went for a 10 mile run & got stranded in a snow storm 2 miles from my mum’s house. I found a cottage & was rescued by a woman, who turns out was 2 years above me at school back in Manchester & who’s brother was a very brief boyfriend of mine.

I don’t buy it when drivers say that they are allowed to use a handheld while sitting in traffic. How come they always drop the phone like a hot potato when I knock on the window? If you are on the road then you are driving. Keep your focus on what’s happening around you.

Is there anyone in government looking at UK road violence & the daily reports of dead people due to uncontrollable drivers & thinking f**k I should really do something about this?

Another Outer Hebridean observation is that islanders endure all kinds of harsh weather, have families & do shopping - in small cars. The roads are the same width as our residential roads minus the space lost to parking. So why do so many people in London need massive cars?

My Nana cycled round Withington well into her 70’s. Walked a mile a day well into her 90’s. She’d laugh her head off at what’s become of us.
