Intriguing, but it would take something very special to beat the London Bridge shadows and their juxtapositioning alongside the Palace of Westminster 😏
Yes they're both dropping off their precious cargos to school 🙄
Me standing alongside in hi viz clearly isn't enough of a deterrent
£200 fine and 3 points hopefully will be
@ASimpleDough
Both were discharging passengers on white zigzags - a criminal offense
Both will be submitted to Met Police AS VIDEOS and both will v. likely receive NIPs
Both will be richly deserved
Please tell me you don't hold a driving license
@VCCP
@TfL
I drive & cycle.
Succinctly put, each mode of transport is respectively fundamentally:
Kill, or be killed.
But you keep "challenging" that notion. 🙄
But don't take my word for it:
38 previous driving offenses.
Judge described him as a "danger to the public with no prospect of rehabilitation"
But thanks to
#motonormativity
, that paints driving as a 'right', his driving ban will for just 31 months 😩
So

Brentford.
Great to see bike racks are back.
Not so good seeing LOTs of disposable BBQs on sale.
Have you not been hearing the fire brigades' pleas to stop selling them?
@Southwark_News
"...a car collided..."
@herbie_russell
I know it's a big ask, but any chance you could read these collision reporting guidelines and adopt them?
@ZambeziOutpost
Not: why are drivers endangering others at a zebra crossing outside a school?
Warped perspective
Luckily, as the numerous resulting NIPs are proving, the police take a more rational view.
Oh, and because the Saturday school has asked me to (after all other approaches failed)
@ChristineEasda1
Hey Christine, just a thought: Any chance you could ACTUALLY apply your strapline of "think for yourself" and do a bit of research on:
1. How roads are paid for.
2. Why bicycles aren't registered.
3. How much is spent on cycling infra compared to roads.
@2wheelsnot4
Our ingrained obsession with car culture wins out again.
If someone has a 'momentary lapse of concentration' with a gun they'd likley lose their gun license for good and face a custodial, but because the weapon was a car it's just accepted as 'one of those things' 😫

but truthfully, fellow cyclists diligence is the best chance for recovery 🙏
@carlafrancome
ERM, I'd also say NO to painted 'cycle lanes'.
Time and time again such 'murder strips' are interpreted by drivers as negating the need for them to pass wide.
After a gap of 1,251 days it's nice to be an EU citizen again, all the benefits and opportunities it will return to me and more importantly provide my children.
<Sigh> 😔
7th week of enforcement (sanctioned by the Saturday school trustees) and some parents STILL continue to chance it.
Cue pleading "but I swear this is a first time!" once she realised it had been caught on film and that dozens of others had recently got fined + 3 points
Some entitled drivers will only learn the hard way it seems 🙄
Last week: spoken to & explained he was illegally and dangerously stopped on white zig-zags at school pickup.
NIP now confirmed.
Cue this Saturday
Found parked up in exactly the same spot 🤷

Nicola I fix your headline:
"Police rightly giving cyclists an easier time"
I recommend you print off the following iconic tweet & stick it somewhere prominently by your screen.
You've probably heard the story of, how after spotting a fake airfield, an allied plane later returned & dropped a faked bomb on it. Here, apparently is the genuine article

EVERY house on this road has a drive with room for at least 2 cars (the black car in the background was driving in). Bonnet checked - cold.
Calling 101 was an endless list of options. Life's too short. Letting down a tyre is quicker.
So I did.
@AdamBronkhorst
@RowanPelling
don't like cycling submitting "incriminating...footage"?
Maybe encourage drivers to stop providing it. Ever wondered why dash-cams are so prevalent? 🤔
Your anti Go Pro stance is at awkward odds with the police's stance.
Hey
@UNITE
!
HERE'S a radical thought: how about helping to campaign for safer cycling infra for ALL of London's workers instead of bleating how unsafe it is?
@psimonk
@yeahbutcyclists
@islingtongztte
Ah, but that's because in our culture car ownership & driving is largely still perceived as a basic right - much like gun ownership in the US. 😕
Here we go again 🙄
8 point on driving license already.
Now facing up to 81 points, but guess what?
"...McPherson is hoping to keep his licence by arguing that a disqualification would cause “exceptional hardship”." 😖
@westcountrytim
When are
@ASA_UK
going to ban this false advertising?
You can no longer promote that smoking is cool, or that alcohol makes you popular, but yet somehow you're still allowed to peddle the 'freedom of the open road' 😫
@gazza_d
"Not sure why"?
Possibly because he had previously been convicted of 81 offenses on 54 occasions in just a two year period. 😕
Can we hope for a lifetime driving ban?
