The 2021 article is worth a look. B1NSF comes up as a white Mercedes 2008 on DVLA.

that is expecting drivers to know what a blue sign means, you know to have and be able to apply some rudimentary HC knowledge.
Joking apart, would a “flying motorcycles” (Except buses) sign be better?
Anxieties swirl after latest
Anxieties swirl after latest accident on ‘terrifying’ Leighton Buzzard road where there have been 50 accidents in 5 years
e-petition
“Local people are very concerned. I’ve travelled on this road daily for more than five years. It’s terrifying. Can someone please do something about this.”response so far
It’s been acknowledged there have been about 50 personal injury accidents along this route from April 2016 to March 2022. Some of these incidents are because of common types of error, such as:46 per cent or 23 of them involved failure to look properly;
24 per cent or 12 of these failure to judge another person’s speed or direction;
18 per cent or nine were caused by careless or reckless driving by someone in a hurry;
and 12 per cent or six were the result of a driver exceeding the speed limit.EDIT – just added this up and realised its a full house. Drivers and their problems. WDIW?
Mr “It’s not in anyone’s way”
Mr “It’s not in anyone’s way” here is a new one on me, but this is a chance to revisit several “I’m prepared to go to court (prison in one case) over this” stories, many of which we’ve had on here. What cars do to people.
I get that it’s a crappy operating model, but drivers and their constant bullshit, try-ons and whingeing have brought this on themselves.

Driver overturns council bus lane fine due to ‘unclear’ signs
“The driver accepted that he drove through the gate but challenged whether information leading to it was adequate or not
Mr Dhillon admitted going through the bus gate, but said he “did not see the signs because they are not clear or easy to decipher with so much to look at in such a short time, especially when you are new to the area”.
“In that previous hearing, the adjudicator said: “The round blue ‘bus route only’ signs are mounted against the bridge amidst a large quantity of other visual features (priority direction sign; restricted parking zone signs; yellow and black striping and height restriction triangle sign). The video shows the additional distraction of pedestrians walking to and fro under the bridge at the time of Mr S’s journey. The marking may well be shaded by the bridge and not sufficiently visible in time.”

Devon village parking row as furious locals revolt against charges
Council leader Martin Wrigley (Lib Dem, Dawlish North East) said the council would meet the residents to work out a solution.
“I don’t think there is any quick fix to this, but we need something better,” he said.
“We Liberal Democrats were elected on the promise of a community-powered council, and what has happened here is certainly not what a community-powered council does.
“Kingskerswell is not alone. This might apply to village car parks across the patch.”
