  1. 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..

  4. An important thread on #motonormativity, #CarCulture, and the need for 'hard measures' to tackle the negative impact of SUVs and cars more generaly on our streets.

  5. Does anyone here follow Derek from Vice Grip Garage? He's been on fire the past few days (not literally).

    Apparently the Tulsa "world-record car cruise" on Route 66 left thousands of people out, and that feller has been bringin' the thunder on the city.

  6. These anti-ebike and anti-escooter laws are not about "safety." They are an attempt by lobbyists and #babyBoomers to force people back into #carCulture. Bikes/Scooters are NOT more dangerous to the public than cars. NOT EVEN CLOSE!

  7. That's clearly NOT a parking spot, you lazy fucking douche bag. I wish I had to pee right now. #CarCulture

  8. Was walking on a sunny day to a near gas station. And there it was... the American dinosaur: big. black. old.

  9. Make cycling ordinary again

    Cycling "in Australia, is still closely tied to being male, wearing a lot of Lycra, owning an expensive bike and costly cycling gear and riding really fast."

    "In places where cycling functions as everyday transport – such as large parts of Europe and Asia – people ride in work clothes, at relaxed speeds, on practical bikes."
