Yet another strong endorsement on how to support young drivers - this time from IAM RoadSmart following Kim Leadbeater MBE MP proposed Bill on #GDL - thank you Nick Lyes

** Ending #RoadDanger #TrafficViolence #RoadAbuse **
requires an overhaul of outdated thinking, based upon *assumptions* that the gross excesses of mass 🚘usage & car ownership are “normal”.

Car-wrecked society is rooted in escapism, denial & avoidance.

A new survey says that, 9 in 10 women fear cycling in UK cities.

From over 2000 respondents, 79% of women said they fear being hit by a vehicle, 62% are scared of road rage or harassment, and 56% of women fear cycling at night.

'Many larger housing devts are in the wrong place and lack good ped/cycle networks.' This Department for Transport paper highlights how poorly most new housing is planned. It doesn't mention children, but they lose out the most. The next Govt must tackle this. gov.uk/government/pub…

If you think housing developers are always the bad guys, think again. Here's a snip from the latest email from TOWN. with their message to Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Committee inquiry on why too many new developments are not #childfriendly .

'One death is a tragedy, 1,711 is merely a statistic' (sic). The responses to the boy injured in a road crash in Anglesey - 'why wasn't he taught to cross the road?' - are both symptomatic and sickening. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

My tweet replies suggest that exposure to air pollution may be associated with cognitive impairment, with reported effects ranging from impaired neurocognitive development in infancy and childhood to higher rates of cognitive decline and dementia in later life.

West Ealing. Last week. 3pm
Children leaving school. This HGV driver, put their lives in danger by his reckless parking.

I captured the evidence and a friend reported. NIP issued. But if your children go to school in Ealing Broadway Ward? Ealing Police have banned me from filming…

Another example of why we need to lower speed limits.

Cars just can't go 20mph without running into things.
