Not many people come out smelling of roses here - not #Police who didn't check the identities of casualties correctly, nor the lass who was #driving way too fast for the conditions without even a full #licence, or two lads who were following behind the vehicle which crashed and narrowly escaped being charged for encouraging street #racing
Folk in #Yorkshire really need to sort out what is going on with #CarCulture or else they are going keep losing young people this way (ironically its very likely the misidentification happened because the youths in the car were middle class and not previously known to Police!)
Also a warning on how easy it was for Police to get #surveillance info from some #Life360 app on one persons mobile.

@nosrednayduj every place is different but in 2012 I participated in a biking study in Chicago, IL where they outfitted us with gps monitoring. The goal was to come up with some practical guidance about bike safety riding in traffic. They found that cyclists who ran stop signs and lights were actually generally safer overall. Folks who tried to obey the car traffic laws had more unexpected stops / accidents at intersections.
They still recommended to follow the traffic law #carculture

She'll come, she'll go
She'll lay belief on you
Skin sweet with musky oil
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne she'll wear
Silver and Americard
She'll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta(David Bowie - Lady Grinning Soul)

British #CarAccessories company #Carnoisseur from #Dunstable #Luton #England, established 1979, uploaded its sales catalogues from 1982 to 2013 to the #InternetArchive - a snapshot of #motoring #history in the #UK
NB: some catalogues contain imagery considered sexist nowadays - British society became less prudish over the years, but not in the most inclusive way (not as if objectifying women was necessary to sell alloy wheels, but this did alas become part of #CarCulture especially in 90s and 00s)
The company still exists today, but in a more downsized form (insurers are more ruthless about loading premiums for modified cars or refusing cover altogether, making this a less popular hobby
