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

[hash tag]

Coming home yesterday ..just in front of the bus up ahead is a set of traffic lights. It took over 10 minutes to get through that set. They were quickly followed by another set of lights and a bridge

Good anti-car propaganda there - well done

One person per car, they would have had to walk 10 minutes otherwise.

Were you standing on the roof of a car to take this photo?

Yes, some people are finally getting the hang of this.

Jumping up and down - on the roof

Here is embedded car culture. This is a footer at the bottom of every email that a certain company sends me:





I've not asked for directions, nor do I have any intention of visiting them. But at the end of every email they let me know how to get to their showroom by CAR to park in their CUSTOMER CAR PARK or a LAYBY on the A30.

Note how they have to shout about it in capital letters, possibly because of the din of constant traffic going past. Or it might just be because they are car people, who are usually shouty and angry.

There's zero information offered to those who might want to come not in A CAR. No mention of the rail station, just off the edge of their map and 10-15 minutes walk away. Nothing about nearest bus stops.

They've given me a quote for some stuff and I think I will advocate using another company, as a punishment, and proof that promulgating car culture can lose you business.

Seems a bit harsh. They are probably used to going everywhere by van because they carry glass and windows.

 

[MickiQ]

Probably think people too poor to own a car can't afford their windows

It won't mean anything unless you tell them what you're doing and why. I hope you do.

 

[T & P]

In other news, man yells at the sky in anger at the tyranny of it all as he notices the website for the Gloucester motorway services doesn’t include comprehensive directions on how to reach it by public transport.

Is being shamed on one of the internet's most widely followed threads not harsh enough?

I imagine they wrongly assumed you were a grown up and would arrive like one.

Both drivers in the wrong, because they were both driving cars.

And, you're a twat, but most people know that anyway.

Wrong thread

 

[Spymaster]

Both in the wrong because one pulled out and the other was speeding.

If however one of those vehicles had been an Amazon van on its way to deliver teuchter’s latest online purchases, and the other a supermarket small truck returning after having dropped off his grocery shopping instead of privately owned cars, neither driver would be at fault

 

[cupid_stunt]

Both in the wrong because one pulled out and the other was speeding.

Err, the other was only doing 20 mph, the speed is shown at the bottom of the webcam footage, so not speeding.

 

[Spymaster]

Still too fast for that road.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Still too fast for that road.

No it wasn't, that's a fairly wide road with just a few parked vehicles, not a narrow road with both sides crammed with parked vehicles.

She drove out of that side street a lot faster, having ignored the road markings & give way sign, she was probably on her phone, totally her fault.

 

[Orang Utan]

That’s a narrow road with plenty enough parked cars. He should have taken more care

 

[cupid_stunt]

This is a narrow road, with loads of parked cars, 20 mph would be too much in such a road.



In comparison, that road is wide, with few parked cars, and a good view going ahead.

Rubbish, you could do 60 down there.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Rubbish, you could do 60 down there.

Perhaps in a Audi or BMW.

Too right, whooses keeping to speed limits

Still too narrow to be going that fast though.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Nah, only one person at fault there. 20mph was fine, the other driver simply didn't give way. And then proceeded to scream as if they were somehow the wronged party in it all.

 

[MickiQ]

The woman in black was guilty she clearly failed to stop at the road markings. The camera car did seem to be tanking it a bit but so long as he wasn't speeding, he's in the clear.
