Think of your licence

@climbtechy What about them? They did not try to intimidate me in the cycle box.

@ThinkLicence What about the cyclists running the red light?

I am not vindictive, and have the rich embarrassment of another three police reports to consider tonight, so I shall let the city council have a word with this licensed driver. ASLs (cycle boxes) are for cyclists; an encroaching driver won’t see my camera before it sees them.

@TheRoadPadrone I am wavering, but still unconvinced. I saw a CZ driver in his phone today, this one road is like the United Nations off ramp.

@ThinkLicence They be registered here under the schemes set up for them to stay

Ukrainian car I believe, I guess that means the police would not be overly happy with me for submitting, so I will give the lady a by. UK drivers will not escape so lightly.

Ha! An automated email response from taxi licensing says that they are “currently receiving an influx”!

@TheRoadPadrone I don’t like rejection, and as all the drivists on X have been so nice to me I would not want the first words of rejection to be from the police. I can’t imagine they want to call Kyiv to obtain details, they might be met with “Thanks for the weapons, but we are a bit busy”.

@ThinkLicence I’d submit anyway, they can NFA it and then when you report a 2nd time they’ll have to act

@Gowithbazza1 x.com/thinklicence/s…

@ThinkLicence Being it's illegal in England, they should know and understand our road traffic laws Sadly you have every right to pass it on and let's hope our police where they are can educate this drive with on the spot find 😀 it will certainly give them second thoughts 👍

@AndrewMulraney It is difficult to know, I did not really want to spend my time submitting the report and preparing the video only to be told that foreign vehicles are not traceable without going through. Interpol (or equivalent channel). Oddly enough I spotted a CZ car today, driver on phone.

@ThinkLicence One rule for one .....

@TheRoadPadrone That post garnered some reaction! Some don’t know their Coppi from their Copy.

£6m for this cycle lane, and they use the road

@bigal7712 @TheRoadPadrone He knows why. /satire; not mine, Fausto’s.

@TheRoadPadrone shall i tell you why the sides are full of crap, drains and not wide enough - they are waste of money / delivered without thought or care

@jones_amgwagon @TheRoadPadrone Oooops! /s

@TheRoadPadrone You taking a piss? That bike lane is garbage, as is your attitude. Fucking entitled babies in cars are the leading killers on roads and you’re worried about a few seconds lost to people on bikes?? Grow the fuck up.

@B52Returns They are both wrong, but if a collision with an errant road user was unavoidable, I would choose to be hit by the bicycle.

@ThinkLicence I don't see what's wrong in that video. Bicycles go on red all the time.

Not unsurprisingly the unsung team at the ticketing division of @roadpoliceBCH have advised that they will be taking action against the driver of yesterday’s van. Drivers: if you don’t want an envelope, then give way to oncoming road users, especially cyclists, especially me.

@ThinkLicence @roadpoliceBCH

@redgolf99 Rubbish. Cyclists have more rights as they do not need to be licensed, unlike drivers, and they are considered vulnerable road users. But you’re right in saying that I won’t deny that some run red lights or use the pavement.

@ThinkLicence Yet there it is in black and white. Unregistered, uninsured bikes don't have the same rights as vehicle drivers. Especially when they run red lights, pedestrian crossings and ride on pavements. Suppose you'd deny any of that, but it's real.

Well, I don’t think that was your smartest move, nor was claiming it was a necessary manoeuvre to avoid a pothole, when I texted the number on your van. So, as you lied to me I will tell you the truth – I have just spent 30 minutes preparing and submitting a police report.

@avsybaby @autcareandshare NCD is a scam, as they increase the premium before giving a little back.

@autcareandshare Wow 3 years. No wonder premiums are sky high. You’d think there’d be some kind of reciprocal arrangement between insurance companies wouldn’t you? I hope you kept your no claims.

I had guy smash into the back of our car almost 3 years ago, he said it was my fault however just before smashing into me he smashed into another lady changed lanes then smashed into me, he maintained it was my fault, my insurance company couldn't get hold of the witness, who just happened to be the other lady he drive into,police ruled it as no need for their involvement, they didn't even breathalyse us, so no details no report, but me, I kept everything I kept all the names all the pictures and the phone numbers in fact id already given it to my insurance company, so I rang the lady myself, she was more than happy to give my insurance the information they needed, yesterday I finally heard back from my insurance they have made a full recovery of their costs from the other guys insurance company....at last.

@redgolf99 That is exactly what I thought when I read that you believed a bicycle is not treated as a vehicle in the Highway Code.

@ThinkLicence What a stupid reply.

@redgolf99 The police agreed with me, not you. Your clutching has left you with wet socks.

@ThinkLicence Definition of a vehicle. Dont see bikes included. "Usage Examples: Cars, buses, lorries, and motorcycles for road transport; trains and trams for rail; airplanes and helicopters for air; ships, boats, and submarines for water."

@redgolf99 You can read, this from Rule 163 of the Highway Code.

@ThinkLicence Yet another unsuffarable vigilante thinking they know best.

Who approved these? Not me.

A beautiful day today, crisp clear colours signalling the start of Spring. I just can’t wait!
