• The Belfast Parking enforcement replied: A whole 1 ticket a month for people parking on clearzones. On a road with a AM and a PM clearzone that's about 3 miles long...

    I am poking them for a better breakdown before I go to war about this :)

    I've watched this video a couple of times now, and I think the John Lewis driver doesn't commit an offence. The lorry is obscured by the cyclist in black, but in the gap between him and the bus you can clearly see that the driver has already passed the stop line when the cyclist light goes green. They are therefore entitled to complete their manoeuvre, and the only charge that I can think of is that they appear to accelerate a moment too late when the bus starts moving, but that's probably because they can't see what's happening ahead and quite understandable.

    Note how far forward the bus driver already is, at the edge of the 'Keep Clear' box, when they start out after letting the left-turner pass. As with all of these recently-rebuilt junctions, the engineering here makes rubbish compromises. In this instance, I suspect that TfL didn't give up any or not very much signal time to the cycle track but instead reduced the intergreen time (time designed precisely to enable people to complete such manoeuvres between different green phases) to a degree that's not safe, as usual in order to maintain motor traffic capacity.

    I may have missed something, but I don't think the driver is to blame here. The larger the envelope of a junction, the harder it is to shoehorn lots of different signal phases in, as traffic flows take longer to clear the junction, and the more problems there usually are.

    I'm a little disappointed that nobody put the angry little man on his arse.

    Or at least patted him on the head and told him to calm down.

  • That dude seriously needs to visit an anger management class or something.

  • He'll be dead from a heart attack or stroke before long if that's how he reacts to someone touching his cab.
    They are a complete bunch of cunts, but we should feel sorry for them: They have to spend all day driving around London for someone else.

  • He sounds quite familiar to me:

    But then maybe all *-***, knuckle-dragging, ***** sound the same.

  • The knowledge will do that to a man.

  • After getting cut up by a non indicating cabbie, I shouted a mild invective and shook my hand at him. In response, another taxi behind me decides to deliberately rev up and proper fucking dangerously punishment pass me.

    Fucking steaming. Are there any videos out there of cyclists getting revenge on aggressive drivers? Any with a cabbie getting the smack down would be great.

    In the mean time im going to play the bonus level of street fighter 2 and imagine its a black cab.

  • Online reporting of traffic offences?

    http://beta.met.police.uk/

    Upgrade from having to mooch around the cop shop

  • That looks fantastic, and heavily under the influence of GDS. Excellent news!

  • i just spent my morning hanging out with the DVSA lorry checking staff at their facility in greenwich. the state of some of the drivers they pull over and the vehicles they're piloting are dia fucking bolical.

    top blokes doing a shitty job.

  • Community Service?

  • It was either that or having to apologise in person to all those disabled kids. There were a lot of 'em.

  • Disabled...now

  • ^ dark

  • ^ it was. At least That's what I said to the judge.

  • My local dustcart driver is almost alway using his phone whenever I see him. I have reported him to the council a couple of times but they haven't had any impact on him.
    Today as I was riding towards him on a neighbouring street there he was chatting away.
    A car or two back was a police car, I flagged it down to tell them and they went straight over and nicked him.

  • Ha.

    Now tell the council this story. And email the local papers.

  • ^But don't tell them your real name or address or your bins will never be emptied again....

  • I'll be using the name and address of my scumbag neighbour who starts a call every time he sets off in his car.

  • Perfect. Full of win.

  • Don't usually see the over over take...
