@Keir_Starmer Well, the families who work for the house builders, anyway.
800,000 empty properties in the UK. Fill those before trashing communities with shit new builds.
@deloreancars@au_tom_otive@matthewsyed If it was just pressed the wrong button, I could agree, but his was pressed the wrong button and ignored 5, maybe 6 indicators that it was wrong and STILL drove for TEN SECONDS in the wrong direction.
Driver made at least 6 errors to get this outcome
@au_tom_otive Nonsense. Same interlocks as any other car. Very easy to tell whether you are in D or R in an I-Pace. The cluster, selector and HUD tell you, the mirror dip tells you, the chiming tells you, the reversing camera tells you. Car moving the wrong way tells you! Driver’s an idiot.

Right, this is the perfect example of everything that is wrong with car design at the moment. It takes a second or less to pull the charge flap open after you’ve pressed it in (which you still have to do here), and again to close. This is absolutely fucking pointless, noisy, slow and will likely break.
And why?! So lazy fuckers don’t have to pull a plastic flap open? The ONLY thing this does is add unnecessary complexity and weight to an already grossly overweight turd of a car.
😡
@KirstieMAllsopp I disagree. It is not absurd. Having lined in a terrace with a nightmare neighbour, I never want to share a wall with anyone, especially someone who is remotely likely to play music through it at 3am.
I’ve seen this graphic a few times now on social media.
Put simply, it is the difference between walking next to a train when it’s stationary at a platform and being passed by an express train when you’re stood in front of the yellow line.
There’s quite a difference.
In May, June and July, the Government made promises to the British people, and to Parliament that they would "not lower environmental protections or standards".
They lied.
Just a few weeks later, they are planning to do just that...

In France, drivers must give priority when turning to pedestrians crossing. We now have this same rule in the new UK Highway Code.
Combined with continuous footway treatments, it’s made very clear who has priority. And it works.
We can and should do this more in the UK.
