Whatever your thoughts on ULEZ, this is nothing more than criminal damage. I’d put good money on the people supporting this will be the same ones who think cyclists should have registration plates, so that they can be ‘identified’.

Over 80% of cyclists hold a full driving licence. Which other test is it you think they should take?.
@CottrellMatthew @Trish_NI They should take a road test too.

Brilliant. Cars slowing down for a police mobile speed trap and speeding up as they pass. only to get caught at a second camera 100 yards further down the road, around a bend. 😂😂#IdiotTaxes.

If you are a driver, it’s quite alarming that you even had to ask this question.
@MikeyCycling So if a driver opens his door onto a cyclist who’s fault ,let me guess not the cyclist who may have been in blind spot .

@hopesprings29 @JeremyVineOn5 If your driving instructor husband thinks that the cyclists are in the wrong, it goes a long way to explain why there are so many bad drivers in the roads. Your husband should chose a different career.

@simonharris_mbd Had him on loan at AFC Wimbledon a few years ago. Absolute diamond of a person. Still drops by to watch a game from time to time, still plays football with the young supporters.

When I’m out riding my bike I don’t care which mode of transport passes me, as long as they do it safely.
@MikeyCycling You know what cyclists really hate? .Motorcyclists can get past them easily.

This is kinda awkward.
@ChaponaBike123 For someone who seems to think they're some kind of authority on road rules you don't seem to be able to grasp the rules that apply to you? The cycle lane on Priory Lane is mandatory, hence the blue signs.

“Pedestrians don’t use the road”. You care to enlighten everyone on exactly what is happening in the attached images?
Pedestrians don't use the road. They only cross it. Using the road usually involves a Car, Bike or other vehicles. A pedestrian crosses the road to reach the other pavement. If you run across the road ignoring the danger and get run over by a truck, it is your fault.

@stu8riches I’m a shop fitting carpenter, most of my work is in central London. Use public transport all the time, including for taking my tools to the place I’m working.

@Sporty_sal Couple of weeks ago, I’d just got back from a helmet less bike ride. One of the neighbours started on me “you should be wearing a helmet”. I asked why, He walked off muttering something, only to trip and crack his head on the pavement. If only he’d been wearing a helmet.

It’s gonna blow your tiny mind when you find out how many motorists have dash cams in their vehicles.
@CrimeLdn Terrifying, makes you wonder about all these cyclists recording people and going home with the data.

@MikeyCycling His ‘attitude’ towards the pedestrians is the same as that of motorists who show a disregard for cyclists.

Unbelievable number of motorists displaying a deep fear of having to abide by the set speed limits. 😂😂
Our camera vans are designed to be seen. You must be distracted if you get caught by one of these! Not only do they monitor speed they also record anyone using a mobile phone. Make sure it's not you. Put the phone down and keep your eyes on the road! 👍 .#ItsNotWorthTheRisk

Let’s implement the 4th power rule. If it silences ignorant jebends such as yourself, I’d happily pay £50 annually to use my bike on the roads…. How much would it cost you to use you car on the roads? . Careful what you wish for. Credit to @PudseyPedaller

Technically, yes the lorry should be giving way. Me on a bike or in a car, would’ve slowed and allowed to lorry to continue the turn and not made an issue of it.
So who should be giving way to who here? . This truck driver said he saw me as he was already halfway turning across #Cycleway4. It's my understanding from the Highway Code rule H3 that just because you're in a truck it doesn't exempt you from stopping and waiting.

@Violett767 @FredSchultz35 It’s even more alarming when you realise that the same people are allowed to vote.

Ok. Let’s base it upon the 4th power rule. Careful what you wish for. Credit. @PudseyPedaller
@UFO_London There needs to be mandatory speed limits for cyclists on cycle lanes and roads. I also believe cyclists should be licenced, including a Highway Code test and pay a fair (reduced) road tax.

@mikebassett__ I had a great time at school. I was taught that criminal damage was wrong…. I still think it’s wrong.

Far too lenient a sentence for one with a history of speeding convictions. The @ABD tried to blame the crash on the crash barriers ‘not starting soon enough’. 😉 Totally overlooking the fact the driver was doing 110mph in a 40 zone.
