    “Sally-Anne said her nine

    “Sally-Anne said her nine-year-old 16.1hh Irish sports horse, Girlie, needed emergency surgery, and she was left with bruises and a sprained wrist after the incident.”

    “The small car hit Girlie on its hindquarters with such force Sally-Anne was knocked into a Hawthorne bush, and the noise caused neighbours to run out to see what had happened.”

    And no offence was committed?

    Does the driver have some special get out of jail free pass?

    Except when drivers use them

    Except when drivers use them in the rain, then it can be dazzling. It is also dazzling when the road is bumpy and where the fog light is not seated correctly in the lamp (although how anyone manages this is beyond me.)

    Have you thought about writing in paragraphs gary rather than a wall of text ? It’s a lot more inducive to the reader.

    Seems odd to want to charge
    Seems odd to want to charge after 6. Why people think charges should not apply to everyone just because of a lockdown is a mystery. Why not free petrol too?
    The mipermit app lets you increase your parking time on the fly, so no need to worry about queues.

    Given the vast majority would have lights, I would go for the reflective side.

    Or better find an off road route !

    I can still recall almost being mown down on christmas day by a silver car with no lights in fog with the driver deciding it was a good idea to overtake another vehicle. I also had 2 rather bright front lights switched on.

    Probably a pannier strap. I torn the stitching on one strap years ago going through the middle of 2 stationary lanes. Caught it on a bit of a fire engine!

    Pilot comments are very
    Pilot comments are very transparent though. They are encouraged to report issues. They built a whole new culture on reporting errors with out stigma.
    In fact they were so successful, hospitals have used pilots in an attempt to change surgical procedures and prevent horrible errors.
    There was a superb 30 minute programme on radio 4 a few years ago about it.
