@JerryTaylor The trouble is the law changed and nobody was told about it. The majority of drivers are ignorant of it because the Government failed to provide an ad campaign to promote it.

Good to see the Police taking action against careless drivers. Pedestrians have priority at junctions. Entitled car brains need to be trained into better driving.

British Police 2026: Woman Pulled Over on Way to Hospital Appointment for “Inappropriate Use of Horn” 🤦‍♂️ This is what British policing has come to. A driver is pulled over on her way to a hospital appointment. A pedestrian steps out from a junction without looking. The driver beeps her horn to avoid an accident. The police then stop her and confirm she is being reported for court over “inappropriate use of horn.” Driver: “You’re taking me to court because I came in from a junction and a male was crossing the road, didn’t look and I beeped… is that correct?” Officer: “Yes.” The officer then reads her the caution before stating: “You’ve been reported for the consideration of prosecution for inappropriate use of horn.” This isn’t a joke. While violent crime, knife attacks, grooming gangs, thefts, and burglaries continue to plague communities across the country, officers are spending time and resources pursuing a woman for sounding her horn at a careless pedestrian. When everyday road users trying to drive safely are being dragged toward court for basic defensive actions, but far more serious offences often go under-policed, the public loses confidence in law enforcement. We need police focused on actual crime, not this.

If he felt he needed to do anything at all - and he should have had way better things to do - he could have just politely explained to her that horns aren't supposed to be used as a form of rebuke (which is presumably what he's claiming she did) and left it at that. It would be an appropriate and proportionate response if any were needed (and again, I stress that I can't think of a single reason why any police response would be needed at all). "Madam, just so you're aware, horns aren't supposed to be used as a form of rebuke, please could you show more restraint in future". Instead, he wants to prosecute. Normally I'd sarcastically ask whether this sort of thing is the reason he joined the police... but taking one look at him I'm guessing that it absolutely is.

@JerryTaylor Pedestrians have responsibility to look where they are walking. Probably should have run the dozy bollox over.

I’ve hoped you’ve considered the possibility that Gavin Burrows is clearly an untrustworthy witness - so either of his versions may be true . Or both untrue ? Hard to say. Lots of lawyers involved. Hang on to your wallet

@michaelwhite Ironically Gavin Burrows, the main witness against the Daily Mail, confessed it was all a forgery. People tend to underestimate the information available from legitimate sources. It’s how fortune tellers, mind readers and other con artists operate.

@JerryTaylor I think you’ve lost perspective - you’ve just claimed having the 6th largest economy in the world is very little….

@JerryTaylor It’s not that little, remember we’ve the 6th largest economy in the world. The bigger question is why do you hate the UK so much you would belittle the achievements this great nation has had 🤷

@JerryTaylor Use of the horn to alert to presence to those not paying attention is perfectly normal and will not survive a challenge.

@JerryTaylor Yes. Agree! Let’s not allow people, via careless language, to assume that it’s anything more than that

I’ve said the right, especially in cities like London, needs to avoid the temptation to play to its base with anti-urban slop, esp anti-cycling slop. The other side of this coin is that cycling advocates need to shift some emphasis from carbon reduction to other objectives

@JerryTaylor Very much needs to be framed as restoring lost freedoms and providing choices rather than nudging/shoving people to it. Often the same underlying policies, but occasionally not

@JerryTaylor This is a trickier one, especially if it’s missold as insufficient cycling specifically rather than physical activity. People don’t like being bossed around on their health. Might appeal to the authoritarian right but risks repelling the liberal right
