American study but relatable to most jurisdictions even the lil 'ol #IsleofMan

There's a very real equality problem in transport and urban planning and time and again is overlooked in the 'noise' of trying to change anything to do with driving habits.

2023 study: “Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults."

@TheNewsAgents We are now in a brand new world where policies that were never going to happen are being “ cancelled “ or where we are being saved from “ sinister” practices that don’t actually exist. That’s called conspiracy … #CPC2023

@amorningboat @Mark_J_Harper Has someone replaced senior U.K. ministers with Karen off Facebook?

[Rob Holden @robbleden]

U.K. has some of the worst public transport in the western world (outside of London village) & intimidating/hostile roads for anyone outside of a car. Being a 'nation of drivers' is not something to be particularly proud of as a PM of a party in power for 13 years.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

We are a nation of drivers.

Most of us use a car every day and, for many, life would be difficult without their car.

But too often, drivers feel under attack.

That changes today with a long-term plan to improve drivers' experience on the road.

Here’s how 👇🧵

Here’s me thinking the @Conservatives wanted to take us back to the 1970s with #Brexit. Turns out they want to go back to 1960

[Peter Walker @peterwalker99]

Exclusive: Rishi Sunak expected to set out a 'Plan for Motorists' on Monday that would limit councils' powers in areas including 20mph speed limits, bus lanes, and enforcing road infractions with number plate-recognising cameras.

I knew these driverless cars would go rogue…

[Manx Radio @ManxRadio]

Emergency services were called out to Crosby early yesterday evening after a car overturned. https://t.co/9Vls4jxHBk

@Gedpower The list is long, apathy is a killer eh?

[Rob Holden @robbleden]

@Gedpower All day long the risk assessment would have that at 30mph. Can’t have that though obvs…

[Rob Holden @robbleden]

@christhomasiom Decades of a 1960s mentality when it comes to our road infrastructure has built people into being car dependent & now coming home to roost. Given our transport data and control of public transport we should be easily able to achieve 70% modal share across🚶🏼‍♀️ 🛴 🚲 🚌.

[Rob Holden @robbleden]

4 years after Tynwald adopted the new evidence led road safety strategy the silence is deafening on speed limits. Either adopt 'Safe Systems' in full @IOMGovernment or review your own strategy. Doing the same thing and expecting a different result isn't a great look.

@Gedpower @richardmacnee Regularly 200+ kids weekly at NSC, record entries this year @granfondoiom, @IOMLighthouses & Le Dans.

@lancslassrach Haha, you're very welcome, me and @RocheAndrew loved it! Hopefully more days like those throughout the year.

[Rob Holden @robbleden]

@MarkLawrence77 @drwatsonsa The biggest misconception when discussing this is that no one is suggesting you should Mark.

[Rob Holden @robbleden]

@drwatsonsa Statistics we simply can't afford but never spoken about. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Rob Holden @robbleden]

@christhomasiom @robcallister @RichardRSButt Not sure how long you've been in politics Rob, or involved at DOI, but we've seen an increase of 75% more private cars/vans on the road since 1991 compared to a population increase of 23%.

Those are stats you can't afford to keep up with.
