    We need a new feature ‘Predict the Anti-Cyclist Excuse 2025’, and this could be the first entry- open for comments. I could get them effort-free by putting it on YT, or even just asking the b*****d police- here they wouldn’t respond, just like their policy with the reports

    Looks like complaints about

    Looks like complaints about car headlights are on the increase

    Something we have all had to live with for years- the lighting arms race and the SUV mentality: I’m in a higher, bigger, heavier vehicle than you and I have higher and more powerful lights, so I win and sod the rest of you. However, the increasing problem for us is the alacrity with which excuses for driving into a cyclist are accepted by police, judges and juries: CoaB reminded us yesterday of the tragic Mason case which demonstrates that you can get away with killing a cyclist simply by saying you didn’t see them, whatever the circumstances. We’re all familiar with the ‘the sun was in my eyes [so I had to put my foot down]’ defence for killing a cyclist, and now we have ‘I was dazzled by oncoming vehicle headlights [so I had to put my foot down]’

    Patients react after Royal

    Patients react after Royal Stoke lodges overflow car park plan

    As you say with your cartoon: I demand to be able to drive and park where I like, when I like- it’s all those other drivers and the lack of roads, and the bloody cyclists, that are the problem

    Sad news! I hope the council acts against the baying mob.

    We (society) would probably get a lot more value out of using the sensors, computers, and controllers that were intended to enable self-driving cars, to give us self-stopping cars

    I, for one, would prefer self driving cars with all their software failings to cars driven by Audi/ BMW drivers (and their ilk)

    If you had asked them for the

    If you had asked them for the information, then they were obliged to supply it under the terms on the Freedom of Information Act

    A little pedantic point on this: except they’re not. There are numerous tricks to evade the responsibility to provide the information requested, and the agent who helps them to do that is, unfortunately, the Information Commissioner. See my post below by the big picture of the white coach. There are few cyclists, but many police officers and drivers, who would deny that I was the victim of the offence – and I still await official confirmation of what the police did about it (which, obviously, was nothing)

    Great! People driving more to the car park, in order to get their money’s worth, all subsidised by cyclists and others not using the car parks. I’d be voting to get rid of the town councillors.

    As well as reliable servants
    As well as the tiresome situation of reliable servants being all but impossible to find these days. Reminds me of the statement by the barrister in the case for banning Lady Chatterley’s Lover “would you permit your wife or your servants to read such a book?” (not an exact quotation)

    So if I’ve got this right, it’s OK to park a load of cars …

    Of course! Otherwise there would be no way at all for people to visit the coast- won’t somebody think of the disabled and blind drivers?

    district judge Andrew Sweet banned the rapper, who was not present in court, from driving for nine months and fined him £2,010

    Should have gone to BanSavers to offend- not accepted as an offence in Lancashire
