"The streets are paved with fines" - Interesting article, with quotes from the AA, from the BBC

"It seems TfL may need drivers to offend and generate income instead of complying with road rules."

Wow, this is so unbelievably cynical of TfL. Drivers should totally band together and stick it up Khan's arse by not committing traffic offences on red routes. That'll show him!

Good heavens, how many threads can you have on the demonisation of motorists?  

I guess that depends on how many ways the pips of motorists can be squeezed 😅

It's a bit off the point but one thing I don't understand - happy to be corrected/educated, is that it seems traffic road mortality and fatality risk is considerably higher in the Netherlands than over here? Yet the Netherlands is one of the cycling pioneers. One of the much expressed aims of our myriad traffic changes is to save lives. Why then do we have a better record on this than one of the world's cycling centres?

I didn't realise that but looking at the stats it does seem to be true. I do know the Dutch have a high per capita car ownership rate and a lot drive and cycle but why the mortality rate is so much higher than ours is interesting. Anyone have any clue?

I was also surprised. It may be a complete red herring but given many more people cycle in the Netherlands I somehow expected them score lower than us, in that the 'goodness' of cycling would somehow permeate the culture ( I am being a bit tongue in cheek). As you say Rockets, perhaps just many more car owners despite the fact they cycle.

    • The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.
    • They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.     
    • yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?
    • Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
