@PCRepair5 @CommanderEagle Not just America, there are drivers who aren't paying attention everywhere :(

@CommanderEagle Question? Don't they see the flashing lights as they approach and I don't know slow down?
Holy Moly sorry Americans but y'all are not good drivers.

@dmurray59 @PaulOBrienArch @EnfieldCycling @JourneysPlaces Like this driver didn't?
Not just not providing a concession to cyclist but breaking rules of the road.
English
@PaulOBrienArch @EnfieldCycling @JourneysPlaces So, like car drivers everywhere, every single minute of every day, you make concessions to those with whom you share the road.
English
Just cycling through Enfield to work this morning in on a bitterly cold day, driver ahead pulls into cycle lane, passenger flings open door to fully obstruct lane without looking. Car windows full of ice. The driver should hand back their licence. @EnfieldCycling @JourneysPlaces

@ReformSecYork @mitchNcatch @PaulOBrienArch @EnfieldCycling @JourneysPlaces Lots of kids about?
You know what kids like to do, ride bikes.
Quite possibly in cycle lanes.
Being a busy area should be a nudge to stick more closely to rules, not abandon rules.
English
@mitchNcatch @PaulOBrienArch @EnfieldCycling @JourneysPlaces Looks like a school kid to me, thereโs other school kids about, itโs school drop off time. Looks like they are dropping the kid off at school.

@silenceothebams @Arrigi @PaulOBrienArch @EnfieldCycling @JourneysPlaces The risk to passenger is the same in either situation.
English
@Arrigi @PaulOBrienArch @EnfieldCycling @JourneysPlaces Then pedestrian has to cross cycle lane. A child. Unsafe. Obviously.
English
Watch your mirrors constantly.
Checking then before moving lane shouldn't need reiterating, but here we are.

@TomChivers @TheAA_UK Perfect time to see this as I'm looking for breakdown cover!
Thanks.

Periodic grumble about predatory โyou can sign up online but only cancel by phoneโ behaviour, this time from @TheAA_UK, compounded by having autorenew on by default. Really nasty anti-consumer behaviour!

@TheTeslaEnjoyer @niccruzpatane I've never, in 30 years of driving and numerous cars, ever had a button break.
It's a pretty solid technology!
English
@niccruzpatane What happens if individual buttons break? Then you have to replace them, and repair shops charge a lot for that... The best solution is to have as few parts as possible.
English
You donโt need buttons in a well-designed UI system.
Thatโs why legacy auto is putting back buttons, they canโt design intuitive software.

VW reveals the new ID.Polo interior and hallelujah it looks like theyโve finally listened! No stupid slider bar under the screen - actual buttons for the AC. FOUR windows switches instead of the shite we have on the ID3/Born Actual buttons on the steering wheel. ๐๐๐

Getting new numberplate ahead of trip to Europe.
Let's see how tamper proof the tamper proof screws are!

What do you call someone who does this ๐ณ
English
@InternetReels This is why you should pay attention to what's going on in front.

@RealEmber @Nocapmedia Unfortunately some do drive like that, putting everyone at risk. >:(

Chilly ride out today on the motorbike. Usual bacon stop (old smithy, Monyash) is closed! On to the next (hassop)

This is the moment a dangerous driver hit another car at high speed after getting off the M40 motorway towards High Wycombe
English
That's irritating. Day off work. Sounds out. Want to go a ride only to find a bmw has parked blocking in my bike.
It's always a BMW!

Flying one of these, feels like it'd be an awesome job.

@Wellthatsafirst @roadcc How many road deaths are due to cyclists annually? ๐ค

โPulling wheelies and speeding, but the cyclist is the problemโ

@PhilDragon38985 @EVCircles I trust that as much as manufacturers mpg / range figures.
Stannington, England ๐ฌ๐ง English
@EVCircles Got stuck in traffic on the M5. Slow moving for one and a half hours. 5 miles later range had gone up by a mile. Try that ice cars.
English
You know what else boosts EV range by hundreds of miles? Stopping for a 15-20 minute recharge on your road trip while you get a coffee/lunch/snack etc. Why overcomplicate it?
(Motor1 are anti-EV weirdos so no Iโm not giving them a link, I just want to hang shit on them).

@johnmit @EVCircles I've no idea what a wankel extender is, but that gif is on point.
Stannington, England ๐ฌ๐ง English
@EVCircles You say that, but I do have a soft spot for a Wankel range extender.
Partly because I think the Wankel engine is an underappreciated piece of engineering, and the range extender use case suits it.
And partly so my immature side can giggle at having a Wankel Extender.
