I haven’t found a way to describe a close pass that prompts action.
Maybe casually mention in your detailed description that there was also an attractive woman walking on the pavement.

We actually have one in my city since a few years ago. Our stormwater tax applies to all properties, residential or business, and is based on the impermeable area which includes buildings and concrete or asphalt driveways. Mine amounts to a bit over $60 (£45) quarterly for about 22% of my ~12000 ft² / 0.25 acre / 1100 m² property being impermeable. You can get discounts if you add significant water retention features.
We have a “combined sewer overflow” problem where a few times a year during heavy rain, an untreated combination of storm water and sewage goes into the major river that flows through town. The federal government (EPA) fines the city for each event. The tax is intended to fund fixing the system so that this doesn’t happen any more, but I haven’t seen much progress yet.

Looks like the loading bay signs went up between 2014 and 2021.

From a local (to me) article on a man named Dominick Clark being sentenced for a street racing crash, we have, I believe, the undisputed champion of manipulating words to remove the agency from drivers.
“According to preliminary information from officers, two cars were allegedly drag racing during the incident and one of the cars then tried to flee the scene with Clark behind the wheel.”
I’m sure poor Dominick was holding onto the wheel for dear life as his car fled the scene!

The form requires you to fill in an email address, demographic information, and questions about your use of clipless pedals. It is safe, though.
I didn’t expect to see Charles Stross mentioned here – I’m a big fan of The Laundry Files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laundry_Files ) which are like a modern day, humorous take on Lovecraftian horror, but with a lot more bureacracy.I’m a big fan, too. I just finished Season of Skulls. Definitely loved the first few more than some of the recent ones, though.
What I imagine a lot of people will see:Pavement Parking is unsafe, unfair and illegalAndBut you only risk being fined £100and only if you’re very unlucky
I suspect it might actually be more effective if it didn’t mention the fine.
What I see is a boy who could be put to work deflating tyres and decorating cars with original artwork in paint pen.

“Yes, the car went through the wall *here*”
Second choice after the standard pose with arms crossed.
(I’m sure the knowledgeable readers of this website don’t need to be told but just in case the odd one doesn’t know, the Wright Brothers funded their early experiments in aviation from the profits of their bicycle repair business)Back when bicycles were primarily rich people’s toys, so there was significant money to be made in repairing them. First flight was less than 20 years after invention of the safety bicycle.
Over 20 years, so a start.If I’m getting it right, according to this, his ban will be extended by half his prison term. That works out to a tick over 30 years until he can apply to drive again. He’ll be 68 years old.
Yes.
Yes.

I wanted to share a picture of my trusty Perraro Electric Bike! This bike has been my companion on countless adventures, providing a perfect blend of power, comfort, and sustainability. Whether I’m cruising through city streets or tackling off-road trails, this e-bike never fails to deliver a smooth and exhilarating ride.In the picture, you can see the sleek design of the lightweight aluminum frame, built for durability and style. The powerful 750W brushless hub motor is a standout feature, making uphill climbs effortless and ensuring a swift, enjoyable ride. The 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery is another highlight, offering an impressive range of up to 60 miles on a single charge, so I can explore without worrying about running out of power.
The bike is equipped with a front suspension fork with 100mm travel, which absorbs bumps and rough terrain, ensuring a comfortable ride. The hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in all conditions, adding a layer of safety to my rides. The 27.5” all-terrain tires are perfect for both urban commutes and off-road adventures, giving me the versatility I need.
One of my favorite features is the LCD display, which keeps me informed about speed, battery level, and distance traveled. It’s incredibly handy for planning my rides and keeping track of my progress. The bike also comes with integrated LED lights for enhanced visibility and safety, a rear rack for carrying cargo, and ergonomic grips for added comfort.
Overall, my Perraro Electric Bike has been a game-changer, making my rides more enjoyable and eco-friendly. I’m excited to share this picture with you all and look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences with e-bikes!
