@ArtistCyclist Say you can only afford the base model 1 litre that barely manages the speed limit without saying it

Speeding drivers are either aware they are speeding, and are therefore deliberately committing an offence, or they are unaware they are speeding and therefore not competent enough to be driving at all. All speeding drivers deserve to be prosecuted, no exceptions.

@Boenau Say you can’t even afford to finance this without saying it

It's always an "accident" because nobody wants to admit making bad decisions while driving. Speed, distractions, whatever.

@but_cyclists The solution

A motorist encounters a group of cyclists

@EricEatsPickles Say you can’t afford anything more than the slowest base model without saying it

Guilt tripping drivers is the most craven & least effective road safety strategy. Mandate automated speed limiting tech in every vehicle now. No one needs to speed except emergency services.

@PeterSweden7 @CatrickPristys It’s only on six roads, and only because they’re closing one of the main roads of the city to perform some rail improvement work

I don't think you realize how tyrannical 15 minute cities actually is. In Oxford, they will divide the city into six zones. Drivers must apply for a permit to be allowed to drive outside their designated zone. A permit grants a ration of 100 free travel days per year. If you exceed your driving ration, you will be fined. The whole idea is to enc people to stay inside their zones and not drive their car much. Just like the Soviet Union.

@Boenau Sybau

The debate about Intelligent Speed Assistance and other techniques would go away if we had a culture that valued human life enough to drive carefully. Common argument #1 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. Common argument #2 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.

@Bikery1966 They should attach the full name, photo and address of whoever submitted the footage to any fines originating from opsnap submissions

The number of people in the replies claiming Britain is broken because people are doing something about crime.

@keepitreal_82 @Boenau Honestly they should solve the issue thru insurance companies. Cyclist is involved? Cyclist automatically gets 100% of the liability and blame for the accident

@Boenau The issue with that is people like you campaigning for slower roads so you can ride your little bike safer

Engineers design a road for 55mph, but the speed limit is 35mph. Drivers go 55 because it's *engineered* to go 55. Maybe the licensed engineers who approve/stamp design plans should be required to pay 10% of speeding tickets.

@Boenau Easy, just set the speed limit according to the design speed. Better yet, remove the speed limit for a while and set it to what people actually drive at

@SaferRoadsYorks The more space you take up, the less i’m giving you.

Common misunderstanding: cyclists don't take the centre lane to hold anyone up. It's simply to prevent unsafe manoeuvres. When it becomes safe, we move to secondary - 50cm + from the kerb.

@SaferRoadsYorks No contact, no issue

The people of Lancashire deserve better.

@Microlambert all roads should be built to meet or exceed FIA Grade 1 standards.

Absolutely the design speed on urban minor roads should be 10mph. It’ll take a load of work, but it should be the aspiration. Why not? If you’re driving on these roads for the first/last mile of your journey it will add only 6 minutes

@Boenau Easy, just don’t walk in front of moving cars

To calm or not to calm city streets? That is a question that should never be put up for a public vote.

@Colvyri still open?

New sticker! 10 slots only c:

@20splentyforus Keep the limit 30mph, teach people not to walk in front of traffic, let Darwin deal with the rest

In most of the UK the old 30mph limit is being rejected as no longer fit for purpose in cities, towns and villages where motor and un-motored people mix on the roads. The 30mph Abyss video shows why 30mph is not appropriate as a general or national speed limit for built-up roads. bit.ly/4ft0QPF

@AutismSyrup @MikeGroppX @garygastelu On mine it restarts the engine if the HVAC commands the AC to start

@MikeGroppX @garygastelu How would the AC not shut off? Do you have an electric compressor?

Still think it’s stupid to hate this

@but_cyclists I’d have just buzzed the tower

A completely normal person drives a car.

@Boenau Maybe the speed limit is too low.

Some people can't be trusted to drive. "vehicles that had acquired more than 20 speed camera violations over the course of one year were five times more likely to be in a crash that resulted in death or severe injury than the ordinary driver."

@BoooRadd @Radar_rubbish But that’s cause the plates are printed by the dealer or plate shop, not by the DVLA (who just issues the number)

@Radar_rubbish What the hell that’s crazy, I never knew that

Car dealerships that put their sticker directly on the paint or even their BADGE need to be shut down immediately

@BareLeft Say you were denied a loan for a base model Dacia without saying it

For the cost of freezing fuel duty you could have made practically every bus route in England free. Instead we're artificially subsidising the most inefficient mode of transporting people and goods; which increases traffic, makes the roads worse, and helps boil the planet.
