  2. 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..

  7. Motorists object to traffic laws, ignore multiple signs, blame council and say they're trying to raise money. The newspaper conveniently forgets cyclists.

    "As previously reported, a total of 21,454 motorists were fined by Hampshire County Council after being caught by cameras in Alencon Link, next to the railway station, which is a pedestrian zone except for buses and taxis."

  12. Big US‑style trucks are killing more pedestrians in Australia – our research proves it

    "We know vehicles on Australian roads are getting progressively bigger: more protective of their own occupants, but potentially more dangerous to those outside them. Here’s what we found:

    every additional 100 kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality regulation

    every additional 10 cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality

    utes and US-style pick-up trucks were associated with around 60% higher pedestrian fatality risk than conventional passenger cars

    the relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments. "

  20. “More than half of all road deaths are people who aren't even in a car – they are walking, cycling or riding a motorcycle. When roads are designed as if only car drivers matter, these people are left dangerously exposed,” said Dr Etienne Krug Director of the Department of Health Determinants, Promotion and Prevention at WHO. “We know what works – strong laws and enforcement, safe infrastructure and vehicles with particular attention to lowering speed and addressing impaired driving. This declaration means we must all go further and faster.”

    No road is ever wide enough.
    No car parking is ever large enough.
    Roundabouts are there to crack the edges or better drive straight over them if there isn't too much vegetation.
