It’s me in the blue shirt. The young lad isn’t autistic, he has Down’s syndrome. I’m also not his dad, although I’d be proud to be. This left me with tears in my eyes for a few evenings.

That's Ibrahim, the young lad I work with. He doesn't have autism, but Downs Syndrome. He's an awesome kid, I'm not his father although I'd be proud to be. I'm his Uncle Mike. Great soldier made our day. I nearly shat myself when he stepped closer to us.

COURT RESULT - his licence was Taycan.
He was on 9 points already, so totted up and was disqualified. Very wealthy man, tried an unconvincing exceptional hardship plea, got disqualified. Magistrates took maybe 3 minutes for verdict.

They weren’t breaking the law. The speed limit doesn’t apply to cyclists. That’s probably quite reasonable when a bicycle weighs maybe 10kg and an average car 1.5-2 tonnes.

It's a nightmare. My O.H. is one ticket away from losing his license because of a new sites camera in the fal-Helston road. For doing 35 in a 30 limit repeatedly in a wide straight piece of road. He is a key worker. There r no buses, he'd lose his job and have to sign on...

Is your child walking to school? Do they know that listening to music through headphones can be dangerous?

They were blocking the whole path, so I slowed right down. Sometimes pedestrians don't like to share when they are using a shared pavement. I'd never put anyone in danger, but I'm not going to accept being scolded when I'm doing nothing wrong and am super careful around her.

An anonymous follower sent me this image from his morning's ride. He needed to have a sit down and a cup of tea after that. I'm so impressed he stayed upright, and then I needed a hot cuppa too after thinking about it for a bit. What's the betting this is a taxi?

FWIW I think Rod Liddle is an oxygen thief. Why? Because some years ago I believe he suggested putting barbed wire across cycling trails to take cyclists out at the neck. Deeply nasty. Let's be more like the Netherlands, please. Better for society, better for drivers and us all.

Since I woke up early anyway, might as well do some more reports before I have to leave. Just reported a PHV driver who told me to get a job. Ironically, if found guilty he's likely to be looking for a job as a single mobile phone offence is enough for TfL to revoke his licence.

Enough is enough. That would be pretty much the entire reason I report bad driving and why I'm willing to go to court at considerable disruption to my life. It's why I'm willing to work late to make up that wasted court time when I have to.
Today people in Birmingham came together to say "Enough is Enough". Four people have been killed on our roads in the last month, two of whom have been children. Last week a child and their older sibling were run over on their way to school.
