@sainsburys.bsky.social Your Whitley Bay delivery drivers are in need of retraining. Illegally parked on zigzags, blocking the view of the crossing for oncoming traffic & with loads of school kids around. Luckily the blurry reg saved them from a police report and 3 points this time. (Earsdon Rd)

Skilled motorists in #NorthShields these days... #MobilePhone in one hand, vape in the other. A finger is enough for the steering wheel!?
Remind me again why cyclists need protected cycle lanes? #CuntOfTheDay

So do Greggs top up the meat for their sausage rolls by crushing cyclists!? Passed this closely by a moron driver - only for me to catch up with them 20 seconds later and pass them again!

Another reminder of why we need cycle lanes on the coast. Without them, cocks like this would still be driving in the same space as us while using their #MobilePhone!! Time for bans?!

The #DickOfTheDay award goes to this capital4training.org.uk driver.
Busy #WhitleyBay seafront but he chose to text on a #MobilePhone while driving a 3 tonne van along the coast.
Remind me why we needed cycle lanes to protect cyclists?

When did driving standards drop this far? A pedestrian crossing in #WhitleyBay being used as a carpark for takeaway food collection. Design changes would stop this. Narrow the crossing before someone is killed please!

I would have assumed that companies like #Openreach would train staff well enough to know that parking on the zigzags is illegal & dangerous. Van parked on a crossing used for access to the primary school on the right & the school parking on the left.
