I've now had 5 of these incidents at this junction, where drivers just decide to proceed even though I'm very clearly on the road.

I suspect they don't apply the same rule to car thefts.
The British Transport Police won't investigate bike thefts if the bike was left for more than two hours.

A large percentage of Ireland are idiots, they think spending under 5k on a bike shed for a hospital is enough money to spend! 🙄

Today was one of my favourite lectures, on how evidence influences debates.
Case A: 79 people died as a consequence of smart motorways (2010-2024). That's sufficient to pause the policy.
Case B: In the first year of the Welsh 20mph scheme 900 fewer people were injured. There's still contestation.

Why do some radio stations still play Micheal Jackson songs, but they don't play Garry Glitter songs?
They both did awful things, the evidence is clearly documented.
I thought it was weird to hear Jackson songs on smooth radio the other day, my other half says they play them all the time. Wtf.

Why don't the BBC report on motorists in the same way as scooter users?
Plenty of people are stopped using mobiles, speeding, no seatbelt etc with kids in the car.
But you don't see entire stories dedicated to them.
