Then on the way home, ambulance picking its way through the traffic to a scene up ahead, they were getting ready to cut someone out of a car. Oh wait, forgot the punchline: this was in a 30mph residential area in rush hour traffic. How the actual fuck?
There was this traffic calming bit on Drayton Park (20mph zone) that got removed because cars kept driving into it and flipping over. The solution was obviously to remove the traffic calming rather than cars not driving into it.

I’m now commuting by car for the next couple of years because of work/toddler/nursery situation. Missing my bike already.
So the main road into work has been switched to 20mph zone over the weekend. I’m sat there trundling along at around that when someone tries the old cunty charge up behind at 45mph+ and hit the brakes last minute to shit me up or whatever, but misjudged that I was doing ~20mph instead of the anticipated 30mph and fucked up and nearly lost control. Twat.
