Sadiq Khan says a new study “proves beyond doubt” that ULEZ expansion saved lives - but that’s not what the study actually says. Our FactCheck team takes a look.

Last month I was fined £100 for speeding in Battersea doing 26 mph plus 3 points on my licence. My insurance Co; upped my annual premium by 50% (won't be using them again). 750K cycle into London every day. At least 200K don't observe red lights - get away scott free. Justice??

How are these not under control already?

Though it now appears the loophole wasn’t lawful in the first place!!!

Fitness & propriety hey….

Nothing to see here. Looks dead legit..

[London Cabbie™️ @LDNcabbieTXE]

Just spoke to an old fella 40 years in the Taxi Trade.

‘Back then’ he said

‘You went to the first floor at Penton Street where there were six windows for enquiries whatever you wanted.
Whether it was a lost badge, application for the Knowledge of London, medical or license issue, you’d be in and out in less than half an hour that’s all..’

You’d be lucky these days if someone @TfLTPH answered the phone 📞 in half hour.

Wow this is one of the most dangerous acts this cyclist could have done … hold back …. Wait 30 seconds …. Get to your destination safely…

Truly horrific cycling

[Bev Turner @beverleyturner]

Just tried to pre-book an @Uber for tomorrow morning. 4.5mile journey 7.45am.
West London to Twickenham.
SIXTY QUID!!
£60!!! FOUR MILES!!

Remember how uber started really cheaply and put all those black cabs and private hire firms out of business?....

And how many people raved about these brilliant "disruptive technologies?"....

Now we are almost totally dependent and totally f******.

[Ediz @ediz1975]

A cyclist almost kills another with a close pass hitting him diverting him into a vehicle.

Cycling recklessly and furiously
