The police haven’t got the resource (or the priorities) to adequately police #RoadCrime. But if they’re going to rely on #ThirdPartyVideoReporting then it needs adequate resource and consistent processing, and both are questionable at the moment.

The cruel debacle of this young man's death by an entitled American diplomat on a British road continues to throw up more horrors.

Crashes not 'accidents'

"More than 5,800 people who have been killed on Australian roads over the past five years."

"Vehicle crashes are the most common cause of death for Australian children and the second most common cause of death for those aged 15-24."

"More than 1,250 people have been killed in crashes already this year — the highest number since 2016."

Crashes not 'accidents': Deadliest Australian road toll in seven years spurs calls for change

I’ve taken to riding with a camera on my bike.

It’s something I resisted for a long while, resenting the extra expense and hassle. But I’ve found it gives me closure when I encounter road crime. I try to get through any incident as calmly as possible, carry on with my ride and submit the footage to the police when I get home. As the saying goes: don’t get mad, get even.

Stop Killing Children: https://vimeo.com/361286029. It's four years old but this film from ETA Insurance is as powerful as ever. The UK needs its own 'stop de kindermoord' movement to end road violence.
