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

Wow - apparently *none* of the #Gardaí are #pursuit trained to same standards as officers in GB / NI (or other European countries).
How even can a country operate like that?
Folk will be constantly at the mercy of reckless drivers or outright criminals / sociopaths. I have also seen quite a few Irish tooters over the years pointing this out
Sorting this out won't be an easy task - #roads in GB were quite lawless until things got cleaned up starting around late 1990s,. #CarCulture is strong, stubborn and resilient, and older #motorists still resent limitations of their "freedom" and many vote for parties such as Reform / Restore out of spite..
