Truck driver. Rider of steel bicycles.

Sometimes I think I've lived my whole life witnessing a battle between people who know what they're talking about, and those who believe they do!

@SaferRoadsYorks I hope and believe that being a regular cyclist helps me to be a better lorry driver.

[Ian Booth 🇬🇧🇪🇺🚴‍♂️🚛 @Eyebeear]

Tragic obviously, but how about you tell us how many people died in road traffic collisions today?

If you want to kill someone in the UK and get away with it, just use a vehicle...

@Microlambert We used to be able to do it

Whilst we're discussing auto-obesity, never overestimate the sheer stupidity and selfishness of vehicles like this within a city.

2.6 tonnes transporting 1 x 80kg person most of the time, then statistically remaining parked for the other 95% of its life.

Tax them to oblivion

@beau_jangle21 @goSHIFTscheme Bloody steep at the bottom but then eases off considerably. Well worth the effort especially if you stop at the Queen Vic once you reach Priddy.

@blademan1627044 @netwench Simple.

Everyone should be banned from buying big/unsafe cars.

@Bike_n_girl Why does the front brake have no cable?

@RamonesKaraoke @_BTO Is that more elusive than a Bechstein's?

We heard this Fiesta in #Botley before we saw it... The driver told us the tyre had not long gone Flat! Our professional judgement suggested this wasn't really the case.

It came as no surprise when a positive drugwipe followed.

@AvonFireRescue Nope, I'll stick with OsLocate thanks. Much more accurate.

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.

At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.

Let’s dig deeper:

@IsthatyouMick @WilliamNB Lovely bit of track, did it back in July as part of my little excursion to the New Forest and back to mid Somerset.

[Ian Booth 🇬🇧🇪🇺🚴‍♂️🚛 @Eyebeear]

@StrawbLine @SomersetCouncil @Sustrans Hopefully with a little less damage to the surface of the path this time round

[Ian Booth 🇬🇧🇪🇺🚴‍♂️🚛 @Eyebeear]

Not at all disappointed with that effort https://t.co/Z2D9LnDmw3

Just an old lorry driver trying not to fit the stereotype. #NewProfilePic

Should it be Nigel Farage being investigated for crashing NatWest Stock by £770m. So that his employer GB News can profit from shorting the stock?

Like if YES
RT if Nigel Farage needs to be in prison
