Come for the way the driver distractedly rolls forward in his huge car but stay for the dismissive way I send him on his way Drive like this in London then you can fully expect to be caught. Then you will receive 6 points and a fine & your insurance (especially for a car like that) will be massive.

A scary amount of motorists see no problem illegally using their mobile behind the wheel when stationary in traffic. The delayed cognitive distraction lingers and can lead to a motorist filtering out secondary information (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.) when they get back on the move.

Seriously unhappy with the crappy state of this road. It's pretty hard to avoid for my commuting. Why can solar farm installers turn it into such a mudbath? My poor bike!! (Video 2x speed)

Spoonbills! At the Keyhaven & Pennington reserve in SW Hampshire on Saturday.

As a kid I used to beg a few strands of my grandfather's pipe tobacco & keep it to sniff. When I was older, I'd sometimes buy him some unusual varieties of pipe tobacco from a little tobacconist's near Zetland Road and send it off to him. Happy memories.

Victim-blaming never helps. We’re rightly appalled when it happens in crime such as sexual assault — and we should be equally horrified when it happens in road danger. Stop blaming those harmed. Focus on dangerous drivers & build a culture that respects cycling & the wider benefits of active travel.

Video of bad driving I reported in 2025 which resulted in more than a warning letter. Most of my personal worst ones are included although there are always going to be a couple where the police took a different view. youtu.be/UPQ7BRt3bM4

Why is this important? Police can’t be everywhere 24/7, but the public can. If reckless drivers know any driver or cyclist could submit footage leading to enforcement, deterrence rises = safer roads. We will never know who or how many but for certain lives will be saved. Thank you for submitting!

Pleased @northantspolice.bsky.social are adopting the public road crime reporting best practice — crucially, updating everyone who reports. In 2025: ➖ 2,930 public reports ➖ 1,533 enforcement outcomes including; • 45 court summons • 229 penalty points • 1,063 courses What is your local experience?

A bit of detective work on this adulterated VRM today. White screw cap to make a B look like a D. What road crime is this driver trying to hide, apart from close passing cyclists?

Sometimes I wonder why people let sheep drive their most costly possessions??

Whenever it rains I expect driving standards to drop. Really weird because the roads are more slippery, visibility drops and we should all be taking more care! Both of these have been reported.

More evidence of real life impacts of @garda.ie zero enforcement regime "Gda Galvin agreed with Patrick Jackson BL, defending, that a lot of drivers regularly took that illegal right-hand turn despite their being numerous signs advising that it was not permitted."

Public reporting deters crime. We urge it for burglary, assault, fraud — so why not road danger?? Reporting helps tackle reckless driving and save lives. The Daily Mail mocking this as “villainy” misses the point. Accountability on our roads protects everyone. www.the-londoner.co.uk/jeremy-vine-...

Waah, "stationary"indeed...and pay your taxes please.

Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok. If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.

This is a prime example of what I refer to as “judicial leniency“ towards dangerous drivers. It’s baked in, a self fulfilling prophecy which continues the cycle of road violence. Every year, month, week, day robs families of their loved ones, without even the merest semblance of justice in return.

Audi driver misjudged the width of the road, Range Rover driver chose to make a point, I got past the egos.

"The road's over here, mate!"

Pleased to note a "positive outcome" not merely a warning letter for this dangerous driver.

Not seen a ninja in this area before! Countryside ninja invasion!

There's indeed a car in that hedge, on this lovely straight easy road. How stupid do you have to be to manage that??

Police in Birmingham held a roads policing operation, supported by volunteer Special Constables. In one evening on one road, they pulled over 166 vehicles and took action in a staggering 1 in 3 stops. Imagine if Roads Policing was properly funded!

This is who runs this account

www.lancs.live/news/lancash... He sentenced Shoukat, of Stanthorpe Walk, Burnley, to 14 weeks suspended for 12 months with a 12-month driving disqualification and 150 hours of unpaid work.... that's alright then!!

Interesting chat last night. I was riding home from work up to some traffic lights when I observed a driver using her handheld mobile phone playing some sort of game. She even held it up & showed it to me when she saw she was being observed. I've never seen such brazen phone use. tbc..

Who radicalised him? (If this article has been deleted when you see this post it’s because a sub editor woke up!) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There's a bit on my commute where the road narrows. Incompetent or inconsiderate drivers often just push through past the wider parts and hope, and then have to back up. Wastes a lot of my time. Beautiful morning though!

The hate is a product (often driven by the gutter press for engagement) culminating from a range of emotions, inc: Envy (cyclist whizzing past whilst they’re queuing in traffic), Entitlement (pay to use roads -obvs incorrect), Fear (loss of motoring freedoms), Guilt (poor choices) Ignorance, etc…

On the live blog this morning...

Beautiful early sunny commute.

Trump's Davos speech was the act of a madman and that is the only sensible manner in which it should have been covered iandunt.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Brilliant!!

The reality of road violence has bitten in Bristol and surrounding areas too often, and it is often cyclists who are the victims. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

🚨NOW OVER 96,000 SIGNATURES! The Petition for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed. KEEP GOING! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

This is how I do phone drivers. I try never to interact, although it is taking three months for Avon and Somerset Police to process reports at the moment, during which time their habits continue unchallenged. youtu.be/yRNDzErhO6k?...

This was a horrible episode...two reckless drivers in a row. Reported and positive outcome. youtu.be/fFsHgbk9-n4?...

Bring it on

Cycle lanes have a few shared pavement bits which seemed to confuse this jogger, directing me onto the mud!

Probably just a warning letter case, but why can't he leave it alone altogether like most people do?

Just listened to this on my way to work for the first time in years, loved it when it was released..and realised how close it is to Abracadabra by Steve Miller! youtu.be/7s8glZ-efMg?...

Driving is a privilege, earned through assessment and retained via acceptable standards. Why should such people ever be allowed to lawfully drive again and share the road with victims? We would never return a firearms licence to someone who unlawfully used a gun to kill. Why is driving different?

Love this quote... Christian Prudhomme, Tour de France director, said: “Stage Two was not meant to be this long (223km) but after seeing the Lake District National Park from above, in a helicopter, we thought ‘we need that’." www.nwemail.co.uk/news/2577006...

Cursing Argos yesterday for this. Shouted in fear as it got closer and closer.

Lorry driver got stuck on the soft verge trying to do a U turn out of a layby this morning!

"We can no longer ignore that North Street is fundamentally unsafe for cyclists," says Matt Kelland

Another day, another horrific slaughter by drivers. Yet billionaire media constantly oppose all road safety measures, instead demonising cycling. We need compulsory speed-limiters, black-boxes, breathalysers etc @stopkillingcycl.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Morning drivers, as you head to work this week, please use your speed limiter. It improves your safety and has a calming effect on surrounding traffic, reducing the impact of the irresponsible. In UK, over 15 people a week die in speed-related crashes. Guidance attached: youtube.com/shorts/NwmD4...
