Not surprised! Glad you got a positive outcome.

Jesus, I nearly fell off the sofa!

You're not alone, he popped up on mine too!

Wish cars blocking pavements made the headlines as much.

A year of roads policing in Essex - Figures, facts and 58 fatals Emergency services have been left reeling after a traumatic year of policing roads in Essex, with 58 fatal road traffic collisions.

"Emergency services have been left reeling after a traumatic year of policing roads in Essex."

The Vision Zero strategy is failing - time for radical action from all the partners involved.

Thoughts and prayers.... heard it all before, sadly.

Had some positive results lately, but the usual nonsensical ones too. They've got to do something about consistency. Vision zero appears to be in the bin, the stats look bad. Drivers just get worse and worse each day, so many playing with phones.

In any other walk of like killing someone is manslaughter or murder, but in a car you can do it with minimal consequences.

Apparently, MOT expired 5 years ago. Perhaps the system is not up to date or there's some other excuse.

Can't beat a finger wagging letter.

Attempting to kick someone off their seems more than just minor, as a victim, I'd expect a bit better than this.

I've seen someone, seemingly respectable, do this on Colchester town centre. Bike was parked perfectly, its just petty criminal damage.

I agree with Wolf. This is now a nationwide standard. Close pass, yes. Driver in bike box, yes. Driver on phone, you bet your arse they are!

Sorry to hear this Jon, but good to know you're doing what's best for you.

It's up there with Commando and Predator.

Speeds on London Road are eye watering sometimes. When i do drive, i get tailgated regularly by drivers wanting to go at A12 speeds.

Lots of drivers in a desperate rush, lots on phones, always busy, not a nice place to be. I'm rather alert to it from daily experience.

This driver got all horny because I lacked hand signals. At this dangerous roundabout, I keep both hands on the handlebars, too many near misses here. The irony that the driver didn't indicate is not lost on me.

Just on my short ride home tonight, I was passed within inches by a traffic island. Then was honked at and verbally abused on a roundabout, because that's a great place to overtake. No point reporting, they're not interested in making roads safer.

Used to report regularly, hopeful that it would help driving standards improve and the safety of kids trying to get the school and my own. Rarely report now, it's very disappointing.

Fascinating, but not surprising.

That roundabout is hellishly dangerous, no one with any sense would do anything but concentrate on their driving there.
