Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

I note that this proposal comes entirely from the mouth of Grant Shapps. I refer you to this post:

Nonsense, most bikes in my city are required to display a registration number. It's entirely uncontroversial:

"A member of the University in statu pupillari shall not keep, or cause to be kept for his or her use, a bicycle within the Precincts of the University, unless it bears a distinguishing mark in accordance with instructions to be issued from time to time by the Proctors."

Last time I checked private property isn’t the same as countries.

Most bike owners in Cambridge are University of Cambridge undergrads?

Perhaps Michael Green or one of his other identities gave the first interview.

Maybe there will be more bad news on the cost of living next week and we'll get a hastily-retracted promise on jaywalking.

Perhaps someone from the Treasury had a word about the money black hole such a proposal would be. Practical limitations aside (and there are plenty!), it would cost millions and generate next to no income - there needs to be some sort of benefit attached to that and there isn't any.

I bet that pedestrian wasn't insured. It was lucky for everyone that the car crashed rather than the pedestrian tripping over - he could have scuffed one of those parked cars.

Let's ban trees, windows, hills and elevator ceiling panels shall we?

We basically have already. I'm surprised you're not familiar with the relevant legislation in each of those cases.

 

[liquidindian]

There probably are rules that cover throwing panes of glass at people or pushing big rocks down hills at people.

 

[teuchter]

One of the problems though is that so many people go on about the dangers of massive rocks careering down hillsides but fail to actively condemn marbles falling off tabletops - so disappointing that this kind of tribalism prevents a sensible discussion.

 

[liquidindian]

Sure it was a big rockslide that nearly killed someone but did you see the pebble that went through the red light?

Ban both of them, problem solved.

No wonder the roads are so bad if one guy called Wilkinson is committing enough offences to fill two huge books.

I wonder how long he’s been planning that post. Ages I reckon.

Not long enough to include a point.

Of course. Even though Josephine Avenue appears to have had an increase in traffic, which I seem to remember the onesies being outraged about as it’s had a 100% increase!!!! (But is still at the boundary of Lambeths traffic volumes for a healthy route).
