There's not a problem that fewer cars isn't a solution to.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@ediz1975 @haringeycouncil @London_Cycling Here’s your problem. 8 cars. 8 people.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@TogetherHackney @EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Whatever. You clearly don’t have much of note to say. Go enjoy telling everyone they should live on equally polluted and congested streets.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@TogetherHackney @EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred I wonder if Evan finds your first sentence arrogant and/or condescending, and if he’ll show any disapproval?

@ReluctantDriver @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Please refrain from telling me what to do.
Your self righteous attitude which shows a lack of consideration and empathy is not helpful but does confirm the stereotype of an LTN advocate.
Insular and arrogant.
Goodbye Matt.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Except you repeatedly told me to answer your question!

And of course you’ll ignore any evidence contrary to your belief, how typical of a pro-pollution advocate!

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@TogetherHackney @EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Doesn’t stop it from being disingenuous does it?

And your alternative is increased traffic, congestion and pollution on ALL roads? In which case all heavily residential roads are affected. Everyone should be equally affected by pollution - is that your goal?

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@TogetherHackney @EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Now I don’t wish to appear condescending again, but nonsense. We do this all the time outside LTNs.

Why do some streets get 20mph limits, speed bumps, speed cameras, zebra crossing, pedestrian crossing, etc but others don’t. I’m not saying this is right, but you’re wrong.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@TogetherHackney @EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Ok. And I understand why you Antis are doing so, but if the average increase is 4%, IF the traffic doubles on 1 road, there must be decreases or marginal increases in many other places.

You can’t both decry the figure because BR carry 10x, then say IR double BR traffic.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred I tried to ignore it and focus on the 53/47 thing. You tried to goad me into replying, so I did.

I get you’re angry about traffic, but you need to be angry at unnecessary car journeys not LTNs. Your own source shows main roads carry 10x the traffic of LTNs - focus on that.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred And because you’ll be embarrassed about your schooling, I’m going to guess you’ll block me so you can hide in your echo chamber.

Let’s see what you do. Will you hide or tell me why I’m wrong?

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred You told me to. Now you don’t like it eh? I gave you 6 tweets of clear and detailed argument, and that’s your comeback?

You deserve all the condescension, because clearly you can’t reason like an equal.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@wickwar @ianwalker @ASPolice Meanwhile the police are told to do ‘real police work/catch some real criminals’ when they target speeding drivers…

Now you want 6 to stand around sorting out a self-created mess?

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@bordernick1 @ianwalker Yes, because everyone there is buying wardrobes! I don’t walk round with a wheelbarrow permanently because it was useful moving some soil once.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Apologies, missed your paradigm of cherry picking: the graph. So you present a traffic count of one place showing a roughly doubling of traffic after having told me IR carry a 1/10 of BR traffic, and you expect me to assume it’s only due to a LTN?!

So was this enough of a go?

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@EvanDriscoll10 @Andy_Noelp @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RachelAldred Finally note how you say 53/47 is a clear majority, then you post a source saying about half of the schemes weren’t included for bad data.

So yes, all you’ve done is post screenshots of things that damage your own argument. But it’s telling you don’t (want to) understand this.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@garystarman66 @bikesandbabies Except YOU said CARS were 85%+

Once again you deliberately twist my words. I was blatantly referring to car drivers. Just admit you were wrong for once.

[Matt @ReluctantDriver]

@garystarman66 @bikesandbabies 😂 love how you obsess over my choice of words to obfuscate you being wrong.

So to be VERY clear. You said CARS were 85%+ of ‘road users’, see below. You post your own screenshot showing cars are only 74%. You disproved yourself.
