Normalise car parks in residential areas.
I’ll offer a driving related one…
Where I live it can be difficult to find parking spaces. I often have a short walk from my car to my house…it doesn’t bother me particularly. Although, because I’m a daft twat I regularly forget where I’ve parked.
Anyway, they’ve nearly finished building a 75 flat block of flats across the way…with no additional parking. There are also plans to build a Care home, also with no additional parking, just by me.
I reckon it’s going to be ‘fun’.
Is that a thing? It makes sense.Normalise car parks in residential areas.

I was speaking to someone that approves such building work in the neighbouring local authority and they said, that without additional parking, there’s no way they’d have approved it where they are. They said they don’t know how they got away with it…in what is already a heavily populated area.
When finished I may be a more frequent poster on this thread!
Seems to me it's just the continued offensive in the war on the (4 wheeled) motor vehicle. Not just content with bringing into place new means of powering them, in the meantime there appears to be a policy of ignoring them.I’ll offer a driving related one…

It’s pretty common to find seaside towns that are just rundown shitholes. Poole is the worst I’ve seen.

I have no idea why I haven’t added this myself.Tradesmen who don't turn up for an arranged appointment and don't even bother to txt/phone with the feeble excuse as to why they didn't.
Gary the boiler engineer, you are a c**t.
A month and a half and counting to get a structural engineer to visit me...I have no idea why I haven’t added this myself.
It’s across the trades too. There’s a variety of work I’ve needed doing to my house over the last year or so, and I’ve lost count of the amount of times this has happened.
Even someone I know socially, from playing football every week just didn’t turn up! No message or anything.A month and a half and counting to get a structural engineer to visit me...
Good job it's not for something *actually* important, such as the house itself!

I used a decent one who was local and was out within a few days if you want his details?
Go for it. Will he go as far as Northamptonshire?I used a decent one who was local and was out within a few days if you want his details?

Had a job at Severn Trent yesterday along Much Park St, Cov uni student staring at her phone walks in front of a taxi and sure enough it hit her. Looked like she only hurt her ankle. But unfortunately while she’s switched off and walking in the road, she had it coming.Phone/ear-bud zombies who aimlessly wander into cycle lanes........stupid c**t this morning nearly put me & him in hospital....literally missed him by millimetres

Do you have a bell on your bike or if not did you shout out in anticipation that the said person was going to walk out in front of you?Phone/ear-bud zombies who aimlessly wander into cycle lanes........stupid c**t this morning nearly put me & him in hospital....literally missed him by millimetres
And the other side of that arguement is the complete lack of respect of some cyclists in observing the Highway Code.
Failing to stop at traffic lights, cycling in the wrong direction down one way streets, mounting pavements, the list is endless.
Notice I said SOME cyclists, not all.
ALL cyclists imo should have to wear high viz clothing, front and rear lights should be lit whilst cycling day or night and a bell mandatory, no exceptions.

If it was a car would the onus be on the car to beep their horn? Or should the dozey prick just not wander out into a road…Do you have a bell on your bike or if not did you shout out in anticipation that the said person was going to walk out in front of you?
Not sure how to respond to this other than there's too many fuckwits with shit for brains in this world with drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians all up there at the top of the pile.I don't have a bell on that particular bike, but I do on several others. The prick wouldn't have heard a bell anyhow....he was totally oblivious to his surroundings.
I didn't anticipate that the moron should suddenly step over the kerb into the bike lane, directly in front of me, without looking.
He literally stepped directly in to oncoming traffic.
I barely even have time to brake....just swerved whilst shouting "CUUUNNTTT"
In days gone by, I would've slammed on & spun round to explain in simple terms what a stupid c**t he was, but its so common these days it would be exhausting. Besides.....I'm trying to be more zen.
As for your other points in this thread regarding cyclists being highly visible, the last time I got knocked of my bike by a motorist, It was broad daylight, I was wearing a sky blue top and had flashing lights on front & back......and I still left a large hip-shaped dent in her Citroen....
So I'd suggest its better if drivers just look where the fuck they're going!
There is no other side to that argument, car drivers ignore the highway code more than anybody elseAnd the other side of that arguement is the complete lack of respect of some cyclists in observing the Highway Code.

I still can’t fathom to this day how cyclists are allowed on the road without a helmet.And the other side of that arguement is the complete lack of respect of some cyclists in observing the Highway Code.
