Can drivers get any worse? Just think of all the rules they break daily - illegal parking, speeding, mobile phone use.
Their dangerous driving kills 1,800 people a year, seriously injures 25,000 more & costs the taxpayer £36 billion/year to clear up after their collisions.
As far as India's concerned, 'road etiquette' only applies to others, especially people on 🚲 who must
- 'show drivers respect' even those illegally using mobiles
- 'get in the bike lane' even when it's blocked &
- 'share the road' preferably by not using it at all.
It seems drivers *can & do* get much worse - when they deliberately use their vehicles as lethal weapons...

#MurderingMotorists won't stop killing with their #DeathMachines until we have proper checks on who is allowed to drive & stringent restrictions on how fast they can do it.

There must be a better way to prevent this than high speed chases that endanger everyone & waste scarce police resources.
Chipped licences & automated speed limiting tech are needed urgently. Everything else is just 'thoughts & prayers'...

We give drivers untrammelled freedom & mop up the blood afterwards.
In the meantime the vulnerable & the innocent die.
What's it called when you have solutions but choose not to use them?

Days after a terrorist kills 2 innocent people, MPs rush to change legal processes.
In the interim 20 innocent people die on UK roads: tumbleweed.

The carnage never ends, while politicians look the other way.

Another hit & run.
The needs & safety of #VulnerableRoadUsers continue to be ignored as political parties obsess about immigrants.
The biggest danger we face is already here & behind the steering wheel...

We did it for handguns.
There now urgently needs to be severe restrictions on car ownership & usage while they remain a weapon of choice for criminal elements.
Mandate automated speed limiter tech, too.

No doubt about it - this is definitely a trend.
Do criminals in cars only garner attention & attract tough sentences when their victims are police officers...?

I wonder what it will take for police to call for mandatory speed limiting technology for private cars...

Yet more blood on @wandbc's hands because they DGAF about anyone not in a car.

Almost exactly a year ago, another #VRU on a bike was killed at this self-same roundabout. It's clear that, despite us telling them again & again, @wandbc hasn't learned a thing about how to protect the most vulnerable on our roads.

And surprise, surprise, another lorry driver did the killing.
Why don't you try telling us that Queen's Circus isn't 'actually located in the borough of Wandsworth', @wandbc, since you've obviously got everything else sorted...? Image
