My only objection is that any time they've spent on this would have been better spent sorting out the careless/dangerous driving laws, since drivers kill proportionately way more pedestrians (and other road users) than cyclists do.

Or even just enforcing the laws that are already on the books. Stop letting judges refuse to ban drivers with 12 points, that sort of thing.

Yes. Although those are different people/departments/budgets so it's not quite the same kind of either/or situation as rewriting the laws
Speeding is careless driving

What do they teach you on a driving test these days? I thought they were supposed to be longer and much more detailed than ever before.
I have had two or three instances of this: we cross the white line the the lights go red. So car in front often stops at the lights opposite, where there is NO white line,
either going straight across like this junction yesterday or turning a corner.
These were the light yesterday

Hello
At that junction you can be an idiot in Croydon, Bromley and Lambeth.

I know, that’s fucking annoying, and the stupid twats invariably refuse to proceed when people try to tell them that traffic light doesn’t apply to them.What do they teach you on a driving test these days? I thought they were supposed to be longer and much more detailed than ever before.

I feel like I’ve encountered every cunt in town in the last couple of days.
Just really shitty driving. Aggressive, selfish and fucking dangerous.
Yesterday I was on the end of a dual carriage way where the lanes filter into one. People get really pissy when anyone uses the right lane and tries to filter.
I used the other lane, go to filter and the bloke beside speeds up and nearly hits the car in front to stop me.
I probably should have just fallen behind at this point but I didn’t so he rushes forward again, pulls across the road in front and blocks me whilst screaming at me from his car.
I really thought he was going to get out and start on me or my car.
Fucking idiots on the motorway today, weaving and undertaking.
Then there was loads of honking horns and shitty behaviour trying to get out of the Costco petrol station (£1.56 a litre
).
Then I come home to my neighbour parked so far over on the drive he’s on my side and I’m fairly sure he’s damaged my door as the paintwork has a big chip with marks the colour of his car.
It’s exhausting!

It’s about 10p cheaper than most garages I’ve seen around me (Dorset).

Lucky! I just checked and Asda seems to be the cheapest at £1.63 but it’s out of the way for me.
It’s not local for me but I’ll stop there if I’m passing with work.

Anyone know why diesel is 25p a litre more expensive than petrol atm? It used to be 6 or 7 p more but 25p is pretty normal now

Tax has gone up on diesel because it's dirtier.
Mrs tag just paid £1.63

Lots of refineries in Western Europe closed in the last couple of decades because it became cheaper to import refined diesel from places further afield such as Russia.
