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)

I live on a street that does not have sidewalks (le sad) and on a curve where people speed a lot. In the last two days, I talked to one dog walker and one runner about walking/runner against traffic so they can see what's coming at them. This genuinely didn't seem like something that had occurred to them.
I'm glad I said something, hopefully it came across as a helpful friendly neighbor and not a mansplainer. I thought this was well known approach for walking on the street, but just in case it's not, this is a PSA. It is infuriating that this burden falls on the pedestrian, I wish I lived off of an urban trail with convenient public transit.

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..

In politics as in #RoadSafety & #CarCulture, once antisocial behaviour is normalised, it takes a lot of hard work to reverse

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.

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!

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

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
