We were chuffed last week to have @willnorman.co.uk take part in our Common Sense Quiz recently (thanks, Will!). Unsurprisingly, Will is a bit of an expert when it comes to the rules of the road and Highway Code, scoring full marks - and with no questions unanswered. Watch below!

Lambeth Bridge N&S used to be one of the most dangerous junctions in London.
We're transforming it - making it safer for everyone.
I'm delighted the carriageway has now reopened to two-way traffic - with new protected cycle lanes both side (with anti-terrorism protection) 🚲

Illegal ghost number plates are a hole in the UK's security infrastructure.
They enable organised crime groups to operate undetected on our road network, let unsafe & dangerous drivers off the hook, and result in a significant loss of public funds.

Building bike lanes in a city as old as London can be complicated. You never know what's under London's roads & pavements.
We've found old pipes, cables & utilities, bones, buildings, archaeology & more.
Here we're looking at drainage solutions for the new Nine Elms bike lanes.
