  2. A #contractor for a portable #toilet company in Northern England attacked an entire family during a #RoadRage incident in #Cheshire and ripped the door handle from their vehicle.

    He has been sacked from the toilet company and will be investigated by the #Police - but its worrying someone in a marked work vehicle chooses to commit such a blatant #crime in full view of witnesses and #dashcam - presumably he's not fearing that many consequences (as any #criminal penalty will be relatively light due to no physical injuries occuring)

  4. Highway Adoption

    The truck ahead of me has a bumper sticker that says “Stay in your lane.”

    At first blush – good advice. But further introspection reveals a flaw. In truth, the lane I am currently in is not my own. Nor is the lane you are in yours either. None of us can lay claim to these streets. At least not individually. Contrary to popular belief, we are a collective.

    Perhaps a truer bumper sticker is the one that says “Share the road.”

    Namely, the entire road is for all. The lane I am in is not MY lane. It is available to anyone else who needs it. You are welcome in the lane I am in, and I hope that I am welcome in the one you are in.

    Alas, too often I forget this truth. I am too quick with my tongue or horn and too slow with a kind gesture.

    So come on over.

    You are welcome here in this lane as well.

    No schedule. No perceived deadline for my ETA. No stress or emotional attachment to the human construct of time. No amount of hubris or disdain.

    Nothing is worth the destruction of a hospitable spirit while one is driving.

  6. I was just lamenting the inability of California drivers to handle the roundabouts at Gilman when this idiot blasted past me, crossing the double yellow lines and then almost clipping my front wing (fender). #roadrage #baddriver #dashcam #berkeley

  10. Crashes at Lavenders Bridge, North Bellingen

    * Just a short time ago two women were killed and another seriously injured after a motorist 'lost control' near the notorious Lavender Bridge and smashed into two cars parked at the riverside swimming spot. >>

    * Today there was another serious incident involving two e-bikes. An ambulance was seen at the crash zone. An injured person was seen lying on the ground. (The ambulance is visible on the Kombu Flood Camera at 2026-05-24 11.26 ) >>

    * In the design of the new 'Lavenders Bridge Replacement' bikes and foot traffic do not seem to be a feature. A lot of bitumen was smeared over the river banks to facilitate the convenience for cars (parking).

  12. The long road to a bike-friendly Australia
    and the dehumanisation of cyclists

    * "At the rate Australian cities are building cycling networks, a cohesive system is probably decades away. What’s taking so long?

    "NSW wants to double active transport trips in 20 years...But at the rate Australian cities are building cycling networks, a cohesive system is probably another 50 years away, experts speaking to The Fifth Estate warned. Progress is slow. (One bike bridge was recently installed in Melbourne after 37 years of lobbying and discussion.)"

    "A 2024 report by The Australia Institute points out that less than 1 per cent of federal road funding goes to active transport infrastructure."

    "Richter was one of 49 bike riders who died on Australian roads last year, up on the average of around 38 deaths per year between 2012-23. (Thousands more were hospitalised with serious injuries during that period.)." >>

  18. Let out your anger and let fly

    Dear motorists (or anyone) you can now rent a rage room to vent your frustration. In shining protective armour with a crow bar in hand you can smash breakable objects (for a fee).This new recreational activity might improve your anger management.

    No need to let out your aggression on other living beings any more.

    Hundreds of rage rooms are operating in cities across the United States already >>

  19. Confirming my 'feels' about cycling here:

    "...Here, it’s almost a regular occurrence — not just close passes, but the general attitude. It’s been a very aggressive approach by drivers here, which stands out from any country we’ve been in so far.”

  20. Yes, I probably drive a little too aggressively.

    Yes, you could get out of the left lane.

  21. Neighbors concerned about gun violence after Mesa road rage shooting

    A quiet commute work along University Drive in Mesa was rocked Wednesday when police said two angry drivers started shooting at each other. Police found bullet holes, and one driver was taken to the hospital as investigators piece together what sparked it. With both claiming self-defense, charges haven’t been filed—yet.
