If everyone can have luxury, no one gets any advantages from it. On the contrary, everyone diddles, cheats, and frustrates everyone else, and is diddled, cheated, and frustrated in return." <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FuckCars</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Bollards" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bollards</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BanCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BanCars</span></a></p>

Tom Phillips<p>Sunny weather always brings out bad drivers. Today I cycled to the shops and pool (15 min total) and encountered:</p><p>- two drivers on their phones<br>- one boy racer overtaking me at speed in a 20 limit<br>- one driver overtaking me on a blind corner and nearly hitting an oncoming car<br>- one driver on the wrong side of the road on a junction, nearly hitting me <br>- one driver overtaking me stopped at a zebra whilst the pedestrian was still crossing. </p><p>This is insane.
