Just got beeped at by the arsehole driver behind for having the temerity to stop at a pedestrian crossing to let a pedestrian cross.
Either they hadn’t seen the pedestrian I’d stopped for and/or they’re an impatient tw4t who isn’t fit to hold a driving licence.

I see some are losing their shit over the suggestion of per mile charging for EVs, and the remote possibility of tracking mileage.
My EV sends trip data to Peugeot and the app I have after every drive. It would be so easy to push that on to govt.
If you don't want to be tracked then ride a bike

A rule in the Highway Code (163) motorists often fail to adhere to.
If a parked vehicle is on your side of the road and there’s insufficient road space for both vehicles to proceed, then you wait. If you barrel through anyway then I can only presume you got your driving licence from a cereal box.

Enough is enough.

The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.
