West Midlands Police will likely offer an educational course for this close pass. Who will be required to complete the course, the learner or the instructor?
I do wonder if that's why the percentage being reported by pedestrians has dropped so much. Most reports by pedestrians are obstruction or zig zag parking and these used to get FPNs but now get warning letters. For many drivers sending them a warning letter would be the same as sending them this
I'm sure David taken the time to acquire competence in what he's so sure of and isn't speaking from the peak of mount stupid. (Poe's law 🤣)
I use Scotrail because they show if it's possible to take bikes on or not and hovering over the bike symbol tells you if you have to book or not. I find this very convenient.
The devil is in the details, there's always a logo of some TOC and that's the TOC the ticket is valid on.
Another circle the city 🙂 It's a good way to put a full stop at the end of a busy week.
I don't think that's parking, all the rest of the parking has a narrow kerb separating it from the cycleway. I think that's just a visibility splay for the turning on the left.
Here's another view. There's no way to pass except by using the road or the footway. This is as far as I went but there's more cars parked in the cycleway beyond this. I'm expecting a lot of this due to the resistance of residents to the cycleway.
Yeah, that's getting reported. Electric buses appear to have quite impressive acceleration and some drivers obviously like this.
It was only a matter of time till I blocked them but they saved me the bother 🤣
23 degrees in Coventry, obviously it's a bit cool for this deliveroo rider who's had to put his jacket on. When it was over 30 degrees nearly all the delivery riders took their jackets off but I still saw one with a jacket on.
Soft scoop. Pumping it, they are! kachunk kachunk kachunk. I hear there's a huge tanker full.
Wonderful, I have a bunch of reports to make and the nextbase webform thinks I'm a robot
More from the A45. Anyone getting the impression that @coventrycc.bsky.social really don't like pedestrians?
@coventrycc.bsky.social lots of lanes for cars but the footway is almost completely overgrown, clearly signals your priorities. A45 at the A429 junction.
I don't know exactly what happened, I wasn't there and I haven't seen the truck but... I think it was likely one of these, a pretty standard skip lorry you'd see on the roads around here. Highest point is at the back.
So, who's stupider? The driver with a dog on her lap or the driver who mounts their phone in the middle of the steering wheel? What does it feel like to have a mobile phone thrown into your face at 200mph? I have no idea but this driver may find out some day.
