⚠️ Please be careful in the City of London tonight.
Friday night is notoriously dangerous between 18:30 and 22:30.
Be vigilant. Be cautious.
Go Home Before Going Out, is our advice.
We have asked the Corporation of London to initiate a information campaign to warn the public.

Speeding towards an articulated lorry, that’s already well into the manoeuvre before you approach isn’t a very good idea 🤦🏻♂️
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....

Despite the efforts of

So shouldn’t we start to look at the behaviour and attitude of cyclists if we’re serious about

Since London introduced the pioneering Direct Vision Standard, fatal collisions where vision is a factor have fallen by 75%.
But too many people continue to be killed or seriously injured on our roads.
