I thought that they didn't offer retraining courses for mobile phone offences. Looks like either three crept through or the @metpoliceuk has made a mistake on their Jan 2023 - June 2025 spreadsheet.

Transport for London has just announced a trial for advanced, high-tech “stealth” speed cameras across the capital, and several West London boroughs are officially on the list. Unlike the old yellow boxes, these new cameras do NOT flash and do not require white lines painted on the road. Using advanced 4D imaging radar, a single camera can monitor speed, distance, elevation, and direction across five lanes of bi-directional traffic all at once. The trial is specifically targeting 20mph and 30mph zones across nine London boroughs: 📍 Ealing 📍 Brent 📍 Hammersmith & Fulham 📍 Haringey 📍 Tower Hamlets 📍 Havering 📍 Croydon 📍 Hackney 📍 Sutton TfL states this upgrade is “vital” for consistent enforcement and reducing road casualties. However, the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) pointed out that since average speeds in London are already below 20mph, the focus should instead be on catching drivers illegally using their mobile phones at the wheel #UB1UB2 #London #Ealing

Thinking of getting a card reader for an occasional stall that I run. AI suggests Square or SumUp. Any thoughts on either?

@1963Firestick @TheMrLoophole @JeremyVineOn5 You can't object to someone reporting a criminal for one offence but then treat it as acceptable for others. It's all or nothing.

@4ChordsNoNet @TheMrLoophole @JeremyVineOn5 What a pathetic comparison 🙄🙄

I am delighted to be appearing on the @JeremyVineOn5 show tomorrow at 10am, talking about him filming a motorist using his phone whilst sat in stationary traffic at lights. It should be an interesting discussion. #MobilePhoneDriving #RoadSafety #MotoringLaw #LegalComment #JeremyVine

@TheMrLoophole @JeremyVineOn5 ... people reporting murderers and rapists and other criminals.

@TheMrLoophole @JeremyVineOn5 Simple, it's currently against the law to use your phone whilst in charge of a motor vehicle, stationary or moving. If you don't like that, campaign to get the law changed. As far as reporting the driver, if you don't like that I presume you also don't like ...

@ChaponaBike123 @CatharineHoey @JeremyVineOn5 A £500 fine, which is most likely the total of the actual fine, costs and Victim Surcharge, would have been imposed in Court. Had it been a fixed penalty notice the fine would have been £200. I reported a taxi driver for phone use, he got six points but £ zero fine, costs etc.

@CatharineHoey @JeremyVineOn5 How do you know it was Jeremy Vine? The fine sounds too low for it to have been heard in court, and would assume dealt with by post?

Just heard from a taxi driver how @JeremyVineOn5 cycled up to his cab at a traffic light and filmed him with his camera and then reported him to police. Taxi driver got a 6 points and a 500 pound fine. What a nasty thing to do -taxi wasn’t moving and as soon as it moved he would have stopped talking Vine should start reporting cyclists rushing through red lights if he wants to play tell tale

Note to self, never ask Dr Google about your health, always speak to your GP first.

Would you ride a Hand-Cycle Recumbent across the New Forest? It's a tad hilly

@CooperativeBank Tried that, I'm still getting this message.

@4ChordsNoNet updated version. Thanks - Michelle 2/2

@CooperativeBank I'm trying to transfer some money from my Current account to my NS&I account. It says that the Co-Op bank is offline. However, I can access my account via the app. Any idea when I can transfer the money to NS&I.

When British Gas installed the old meter ten years ago, they were the ones that changed both pipes to flexible from fixed and now we have to pay to fix their workmanship. Maybe it's time we stopped being loyal customers and looked elsewhere

... it has two flexible pipes and they only allow one flexible pipe. He was unable to change the outlet pipe to a fixed copper one and advised that we have to arrange for a gas fitter to do this AT OUR EXPENSE.

We've been customers of @BritishGas since we got married 42 years ago. We had smart meters fitted 10 years ago and were recently contacted to have them changed. The engineer turned up today, changed the electricity meter but couldn't change the gas meter because ......

@ChaponaBike123 @CyclingMikey He uses @MikeyCycling now

My life is empty since @cyclingmikey blocked me. Can someone as him to unblock me nicely? Maybe his finger slipped! :)

@MarkSharon_DP @RBKC With Chelsea and Battersea bridges not far away, it won't be that much of an inconvenience.

@RBKC You are doing another 'Hammersmith'.

Albert Bridge is closed to vehicles. We're doing this as a safety precaution after our maintenance works . Engineers need to look over the results and figure out the next steps. Pedestrians can cross and traffic diversions are in place via Chelsea Bridge & Battersea Bridge.

@grok is this photo AI generated?

@NormanBrennan 1. This was most likely an electric motorbike 2. A 13 would not legally be allowed to ride one, nor would they be allowed to ride an EAPC, an electrically assisted pedal cycle.

BREAKING NEWS; A 13yr has been arrested after an e-bike struck & knocked over a Pregnant Woman in Poole Dorset; the woman was rushed to hospital where her baby was delivered safely; these e-bikes are a bloody menace & can be driven at very high speed & easily kill pedestrians;

@MikeyCycling Over the last year or two I've noticed that it's rare that a car is untaxed or has an expired MOT when I make a report. It used to be quite high.

Unusually, the first driver I've caught this year with no MOT or Tax.

I take it back. I asked @facebook to review my report and they've changed their mind and removed the comment.

Why does @facebook think it's acceptable for someone to suggest that a mosque is bombed?
