coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

You should have to retake your driving test every 10 years. Would cut bad driving habits and keep people up to date with Highway Code changes. The demand for tests would create more jobs. The inevitable number of failures would force investment in better public transport.

The attached ‘road crime reporting’ recommendations were previously (some years ago) circulated to all Police Forces within England and Wales. I stand by them as a means to ensure consistency and improve service. I share the frustration when service ‘so often’ does not match the principles outlined.

110 drivers arrested in Northamptonshire during the festive drink & drug drive campaign. These weren’t mistakes — they were selfish, criminal choices. Impaired driving kills and devastates families. This culture must end. No drink. No drugs. No excuses.

With criminality this serious ending in death, what other crime would escape national news? This was only BBC local. What more must happen for a lifetime ban? Driving is a privilege, not a right. Our culture — and sentencing — needs radical change.

@jonathanhaidt.bsky.social showed in The Anxious Generation the awful impact too much screen time is having on kids health. Against that, it’s devastating that children are being put off cycling. Active travel boosts physical and mental health. We should make it normal, safe and joyful — not rare. 🚲
