Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

@SE_Apocalypse @ediz1975 That's different. I'm talking about standard, regular, time-based traffic lights in broad daylight which, in my experience, are routinely ignored by most cyclists.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@SE_Apocalypse @ediz1975 I can't. Apparently it's an age-restricted content, and I'm not installing the X app on my phone just for this.

@BBCNews Road safety is not the core reason why we drive ouw children to school. The real reason is the worry about their safety due to rampant crime and drugs. This 4.5bn investment is just a pointless PR stunt and and attempt to redirect our attention from the real problem.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@Muffie62 @ediz1975 Yes they are. Stop at red lights, stop at zebra crossings, stop at the STOP or GIVE WAY lines, don't use pavements, ride with due care and attention, don't use your phone while cycling, signal your turns. All of these still very much apply to cyclists.

@JonnieLinton @cyclnvancouver @ediz1975 @but_cyclists If you want the same privileges, you must obey by the same rules. It's not a pick-and-choose. Don't be a diva and follow the law.

@Meta @WhatsApp Please give us an option to disable #football / @FIFAWorldCup content and reaction emojis in WhatsApp. Contrary to what you may believe, millions (billions?) of us don't like football (some outright hate it) and wd do NOT want to see any WC content in our app.

@DJ_Jazzy_JD @wheelreinvent Car drivers are protected by airbags.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@DJ_Jazzy_JD @wheelreinvent Let me say it again. If you want the same privileges, you've got to obey by the same rules. In my experience, many cyclists consider themselves divas and pick and choose which rules to follow. It doesn't work like that. If you want to check your phone, pull over into a layby.

@Alanboy52 @BBCLondonNews Maybe in London. Here up North cabbies are very chatty and nosey.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@Alanboy52 @BBCLondonNews They always try to chat you up about anything: weather, football... progressing to your personal life. Annoying and unnecessary.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@DJ_Jazzy_JD @wheelreinvent Pedestians don't use the roads to move at speed. They cross them.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@ShabanaMahmood Could you please explain in a bit more details what do you mean by "this technology is already on devices"? We need a bit more detail than just a broad statement.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@DJ_Jazzy_JD @wheelreinvent Is this amount in line with what a driver could expect for the same offence? If so, then you sir have no leg to stand on. Same road, same rules, same fine.

@DukeofViseu @BBCNews It's called responsible, switched-on parenting. Sadly, very rare in this day and age.

[String of Ears @string_of_ears]

@BBCNews Another regulation suggested by someone who doesn't know how technology works in the first place. There is no single Camera app for all phones to control what is captured. Even then, we all know that image recognition gets it wrong a good part of the time.

@ediz1975 Cyclist. You're doing 50 in a 30 or even a 20, if this is a built-up area. The driver may have taken appropriate precautions for someone who travels 30mph but did not anticipate an idiot doing 50 on a bikem and while on his phone.

@elonmusk If any alien civilisation finds it, they will have a good laugh at the state of our engineering.
