Police claim insufficient evidence to press for more serious prosecution — driver admits driving without due care, fined £100 and given three points
by Dan Alexander 4/3/22
On December 15th last year, road.cc reader Kionne Potter went on his usual one-hour lunchtime training loop, the footage he sent us today shows the shocking road rage attack that followed from a driver who repeatedly tried to ram the West Midlands cyclist from his bike.
The motorist involved admitted driving without due care and received three penalty points and a £100 fine after West Mercia Police downgraded the report from assault to dangerous driving, and then once more to driving without due care, saying there was insufficient evidence for a more severe prosecution.

A 162% increase in e-bike rides from Bank station, coupled with a 136% increase at London Bridge station: These eye widening numbers have been recorded by e-mobility provider Lime, as a direct result of London Underground’s Northern Line closure for improvement works.
For context, Transport for London (TFL) reports that, “Bank and Monument (Northern Line) stations see a combined total of more than 120 million passengers in a normal year.”

Is Norfolk County Council gambling on receiving Government funding to avoid possible bankruptcy with the funding of this doomed road?  This was the question arising out of yesterday’s  Council’s Scrutiny Committee’s meeting. 
Following the meeting Councillor Osborne posted this on Twitter:
‘Norfolk County Council have NO contingency reserve if the Norwich Western Link fails. If it fails, the cost will completely wipe out their general revenue reserves at £20million. This is huge. @NorfolkCC is gambling with Norfolk’s financial future’

A new study from the Clean Cities Campaign has outlined just how far off the pace European cities are when it comes to meeting targets on climate-friendly mobility forms.
“No major European city is fully on track to move its citizens onto more climate-friendly forms of transport by 2030, threatening to undermine a vital component of the EU’s efforts to cut greenhouse gases,” starts the campaign in its statement.

More than 300 barriers have been removed or redesigned on the National Cycle Network (NCN) over the past three years, Sustrans has reported. The walking and cycling charity, which is the custodian of the UK-wide NCN, launched a strategy in late 2018 to improve the NCN. 
Sustrans says it is on course to make 66% of the NCN traffic-free, adding an extra 5,000 traffic-free miles, by 2040.

My brilliant Assembly colleague @sianberry shows how the Mayor CAN cancel  the Silvertown Road Tunnel, and develop smart fair privacy friendly road charging at the Blackwall Tunnel, all costing Londoners far less than this toxic project. No excuse not to cancel it now.
