@JohnBogleyDC @Boenau At what age did you start to note the lack of hotels and think "wow, you could really drive at a higher speed than 70 here without problems?"

@kasper_malmo @Boenau Two different things. My mom speeding me to the hospital is one thing. Roads in America that are set for 70mph on long stretches are a different thing. I’ve driven over 100 many times on Rt 40 out to Wilmington, NC

One of the two most common arguments against vehicle speed limiters is "what if you need to drive 100 MPH because it's an emergency?!" We all know you've never been in such a circumstance. Besides, the real emergency is driving 100 MPH, putting lives around you in danger. The other common argument is "I don't want Big Brother tracking me." Putting aside the fact that there are ways for vehicle speeds to be limited without the government tracking you, this argument only works in a fantasy land where the government doesn't already know your every move. I don't like it any more than the next person, but doesn't anyone remember what Edward Snowden exposed? Your phone, your apps, your desktop computer, your messages you thought were encrypted... In the real world, people's lives are being forever altered or ended in preventable crashes. Preventable crashes that occurred because selfish people were in a hurry and refused to slow down. This whole debate about Intelligent Speed Assistance and other techniques would go away if we had a culture that valued human life enough to drive carefully.

@JohnBogleyDC @Boenau I like the way that even though you were only a young child you somehow knew that the road your mother was driving on had a speed limit of 70 and you could also, despite the meningitis, assess that it was safe to drive higher than 70 on this road.

You don’t know what emergencies we’ve been in. One of my earliest memories is my mother rushing me to the hospital, running lights. There are long stretches of straight road with no rest stops or hotels with a speed limit of 70 that you can safely go faster on. You seem to want to live in a nanny state

@Nova_covic @HAX så där som Sverige gjorde under andra världskriget menar du?

@HAX Hur vore det om vi skulle låta parterna lösa sin egen skit och ta hand om vårt eget land?

En fråga: Hur har man tänkt sig en tvåstsatslösning när palestinierna sagt nej till en sådan fyra gånger (1937, 1947, 2000 & 2008)?

@ShagNeverLied @Boenau @NWordBiden Maybe take a different route if you're in a hurry, no need for dangerous driving.

@Boenau @NWordBiden No, and I don’t agree with homie driving off the road and around and through all of them either. BUT get the absolute fuck out of the way, do not block and clog the road up there is a sidewalk clear as day idc if there’s 40 bikes get in a line and get tf out the way

It blows my mind that people are taking the side of the people on bikes

@FR4NK_WHITE @HarryHamishGray And when you need two new fridge freezers it's going to be hard to transport them by bike, right?

@HarryHamishGray In my house we have 5 adults and two children, requiring a weekly shop, and two fridge/freezers to store it. Our nearest supermarket is a 25 minute drive, let alone cycle. but whatever, you keep thinking about yourself.

@CrusiFex @HarryHamishGray My local Lidl doesn't have a car park, just the spaces on the street outside. There's a few bike racks too.

@HarryHamishGray Rubbish. Lidl is not a convenience store for the high street. It's a supermarket where you are leaving with multiple heavy bags and need immediate access to your car

@andreasbruse @seatsixtyone SJ haven't ordered any new ones, and don't seem to have any plans to do so.

@seatsixtyone I've only traveled in the 6 people cabins, and those really feel like they were made in the 70s. Hope we can get some more modern sleeper trains soon.

See it for yourself! Stockholm to Hamburg by SJ sleeper train, filmed 2 weeks ago youtu.be/_KzTVf31Frw

@9LivesofSummer @but_cyclists It's still worth trying to save lives on UK roads even if there are countries where more people die.

@but_cyclists Listen you plonker,. the UK has 2nd safest roads in Europe and the world, VERY safe, lowe RTA death rate 1600 a year - in India it is 500 a DAY, 180,000 a year. Yes really.

What you think causes congestion: cycle lanes. What actually causes congestion:

@GordNordog @but_cyclists Problem is that drivers that are 70+ have too slow a reaction time to be driving, there's quite a small window of being able to drive responsibly.

@but_cyclists All young drivers under 50 years of age are blinkered, they see only a short ​d​istance from the​ir seat in any car/van,​ what with their phones, GPS and music, their brain is not fully engaged on the driving.

@ambivulant @carlafrancome No, it's just you're not making much sense. I'm not sure how you mean that car drivers generate tax revenue if it's not by spending more money.

@kasper_malmo @carlafrancome You thick?

Listen, I don’t care how we do it. If you hate LTNs fine, but we need to find ways of getting cars off roads so kids can have them back. It’s that simple. Yesterday on our low traffic route home from drama, we travelled in a pack, listening to music on my speaker. As we … 1/2

@FranssonJosef @kommitten @GulanAvci Ett tips om man är orolig över antisemitism är att inte vara med i SD.

Vad säger Svenska kommittén mot antisemitism @kommitten om att Greta bär en klassisk antisemittisk symbol på sin tröja? Kritiserar ni någonsin någon till vänster? Kanske mamma Ernman har någon uppfattning? Eller @GulanAvci?

@ambivulant @carlafrancome How do you mean they generate tax revenue?

@kasper_malmo @carlafrancome Not quite, drivers generate tax revenue so ultimately hold sway with contentious schemes that favour other forms of transport.

@ambivulant @carlafrancome You mean because it's so expensive to run a car? It's definitely cheaper being a pedestrian, I agree with you there.

@kasper_malmo @carlafrancome Not so, shire horse, loaded cart & rider similar gross weight to city car. As for speed, think you’ll find average speed on par with horse & carriage during daylight hours anyhow. Main point is drivers generate tax revenue & pedestrians don’t.

@ambivulant @carlafrancome Yes exactly, the differences being a) the lack of imminent death in the horse and cart scenario due to lower speeds and weight of vehicle and b) the amount of traffic.

@kasper_malmo @carlafrancome Oh I get it - Much the same as kids today will get out of the way of a vehicle if it came past 🤯

@ambivulant @carlafrancome I wasn't around in horse and cart days but I'm guessing the children playing in the street got out of the way of them when they came past, what do you think?

@kasper_malmo @carlafrancome As long as the children gave way to the horse and cart, same way with motor vehicles - no?

@DonkeyKrown @gosse_mr @intesimonk Varför skulle man inte ta bussen hem efter ett nattpass? Vad menar du?

@gosse_mr @intesimonk Till skillnad från er så har jag faktiskt jobbat nattpass, och det finns inte en chans i helvetet att man därefter går till bussen, väntar obestämd tid på hållplatsen och efter en lång busstur går hem från hållplatsen.

Det här är kanske bland det sjukaste jag läst i mitt liv.

@DonkeyKrown @intesimonk hur många fyllos vill du se i bussen innan du är nöjd med beläggningen?

@intesimonk Hon har ju inte fel. Varför ska folk inte ta taxi när de varit ute och bränt 1000 spänn på puben. Istället ska skattebetalarna betala för en jävla 20 ton buss med 50 platser och egen chaufför, till 3 fyllos. Skattepengar som kunde spenderats på sjukvård istället.

@ScottMc76453430 @carlafrancome I'm not sure what the point of the personal insults is. Not everyone is into serial killers.

@kasper_malmo @carlafrancome Yes, it’s called: having a functioning memory. I didn’t think people as stupid as you actually existed in real life.😂

@seatsixtyone They say on their website that they're planning to connect 100 European cities by 2035. It feels a bit hard to take seriously, reminds me of Midnight Trains.

Ambitious plans for all-private-room sleeper trains, first route to be launched in 2027. I like the look of those compartments, the demand is there, and these guys know their market: It'll be tough, but can they do it? We'll see! youtube.com/watch?v=Mqn1Fb…

@ScottMc76453430 @carlafrancome wow that's even more than your first list! Do they just come off the top of your head like that?

@kasper_malmo @carlafrancome So let me get this right, you’re saying you’ve never heard of Jeffery Dahlmer, Fred West, Myra Hindlay, Jack the Ripper, Peter Suttcliffe or Ted Bundy? You’ve just got no recollection of them at all?😂😂😂
