😲 Does she think she's progressive? 🤣🤣🤣

We have them all: amber gamblers, crossing creepers, jumping the gun, the cautious nighttime non-stoppers, the good old blast through...

There is a rule in the UK that bikes get priority over cars unless markings show otherwise, and another that walkers get priority over both. Some drivers are still in denial and seem to think they won't get tickets (or education classes if lucky) if they ignore new rules they dislike for long enough!

Not sure why Sam is dissing Milton Keynes so hard. A good hiding place there could break tons of the end game questions: tallest building pic? A steel and glass corner. Pic straight up? A steel and glass wall. Pic of you? In front of a polished granite wall. The underpasses and crosswalk covers all look pretty similar too. However, it does look pretty distinctive, so they might reach the end game too fast.

And what have they done to the flag? It's like a creepy funhouse version!

Experience strongly suggests they still won't reconsider driving like an inconsiderate shit. Instead, they whine about the war on cars and say more traffic cops should be fired or reassigned. 🙁

Not in my town. Cyclists wouldn't last long if they were as bad as the drivers here. It's been a long time since I rode into town and saw no driver on their phone or jump a red light (turn through red is illegal here).

Yeah, they should have lights, but drivers have no right to dictate people's clothes while people are still driving around in black cars, especially when some of those have the wrong number of lights or sometimes don't put the lights on at all.

As for responsibility, let's be proportionate. A rubbish cyclist might kill themselves, but rubbish drivers can kill everyone and probably damage buildings and other infrastructure too, so it's probably justified if drivers have to pass stricter tests.

You'll have to ask them. They insist they aren't, but I promise you I am not blocking them either, so it's them.

Could it be someone between you and them? Is there a bug report or discussion tracking this problem which people could try to help solve?

Yeah, that's fair. In a minority of cases, with a certain app and needs to modify it to do your task, it may be true. Still rare.

ok, cool. You can search our parliaments at TheyWorkForYou.com and I don't think any have said that sort of nonsense for a few years.

And what politicians or civil society organisations were in the pub with you?

Ordinary people in pubs talking mad nonsense is not exactly unusual anywhere!

Not great but she's not an elected official, is she? And her husband isn't responsible for her actions, is he? Maybe she has to retire from any public role as a result of this, but I'd literally not heard of her in years anyway.

Most drivers are in denial about how bad some drivers are now. Maybe a few stories like this on Daily Mail sites like Metro might wake a few up and reduce the opposition to having more roads police.
