#TalkAboutRoadDeath - SUVs and road death Research shows that the likelihood of being killed in road traffic collisions increases significantly for pedestrians and cyclists when the driver is driving a SUV - from @LSHTM ⬇️ lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/new… Headline data from analysis of 600,000 road traffic collisions comparing SUVs with a smaller vehicle : ➕Children are 82% more likely to be killed ➕ Pedestrians or cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed This feels intuitive given the size of SUVs compared to the size of, say, a 6 year old : but shocking nonetheless. #StopRoadDeath Hopefully @transportgovuk @LilianGreenwood @Heidi_Labour @Keir_Starmer have this issue included in the new strategy.



This blind man has travelled by bus independently all his life. But he can no longer use this stop as he is must alight onto an island with no idea where he is and has a two-way cycle track to cross! The government has done this so cyclists ‘feel’ safe. Alt below.

Just been nicked for a second time for doing more than 20mph in outer London while a mate of mine in North London faces losing his licence soon for running up 12pts for breaking that limit 4 times. There will be record driving disqualification going through the courts. . Khan will be so pleased. Almost impossible to do 20mph for any period of time. Cars weren’t built to go that slowly.
