Boris Johnson's Narrow Escape

It took me a few seconds to get what you meant there Ben, but I got it, was so obvious:

Manchester city centre... They're always feature in the Manchester Evening News after some dozy motorist tries to tailgate one of the buses that have the (radio transmitters?) things that lower them on board, then they complain, a lot...

This is despite the fact there are big fuck off no entry sign and signs warning of raising bollards.... perhaps it teaches them to pay a bit more attention to their surroundings..? i'd like to think it does, but i somehow doubt it.....

Re: the bollards above. Where are those!? Amazing footage, people trying to sneak in after the permitted vehicle has gone through.

There may be a measurable reduction in casualties at speedbump sites, but the London Ambulance service claimed that casualties had increased because ambulances could not get people to hospital quickly enough. They were claimed to kill more than they save.

I expect this to be debunked, but if this sort of traffic calming costs any lives then it's the wrong sort.

this is not a debunked, but London held the fastest ambulance service in Europe.

this is not a debunked....

classic 'scoble!

boris is in the wharf this week saying.....

'i am relieved no one was hurt but this incident reinforces the need for us to make Londons roads safer for cyclists'.

lets hope they do.
