standard.co.uk
The images enter my sleep, and trouble me awake. A speeding car cannonballs across a wet road, flips and smashes head-on into a female cyclist riding home. This is no Netflix horror show. This was a...

Last month, 12 year old Azaan Khan was killed by a driver while using a crossing. His best friend Kamran has told @bbcmtd that drivers should stop speeding and using phones. It should be a point of great shame that it is down to children to plead with adults to keep them safe.

Since 2020, 1.5 million motor vehicles have been registered on the U.K's roads, bringing the total to a record 41 million - a doubling of motors in just 30 years. In 2013/14, there were 10 million fewer motors on our roads. As Vincent's graph shows, too many cars = slow buses.
.@TfL have published their latest bus speed performance figures. Period 3, 2023/24 marks a new low as being the slowest period 3 performance in over a decade. 9.19mph On average, every single London bus, 24/7, was 1/2 mph slower than in 2013/14. 6 million journeys a day!

This driver’s behaviour could have quite easily had catastrophic consequences. I’m grateful to @WMPolice for their swift response in making it clear: we will not tolerate behaviour that endangers vulnerable road users.
#UPDATE | A motorist is facing court after footage of a car being driven down a cycleway in Coventry was shared online. The clip shows a blue Ford Puma being illegally driven on Binley Road last weekend. More from us and @adamtranter 👉 https://t.co/Wl8YGaf4vZ
