Police in Ontario have charged multiple people for driving lawn tractors while impaired. This is a serious safety risk that is higher than operating these machines on private property.

“As a professional #cyclist the open road is my workplace, and I live the reality of the danger of #cycling in #traffic almost every day,” Tadej Pogacar said in 2024 as part of an international #RoadSafety campaign.

“I am not alone, as millions of people around the world ride their bikes to work, school or just for leisure. The ability for people to ride their bikes safely is something we need to protect.”

First ride with my smart radar taillight. What a difference. Every driver but one gave me +1 metre clearance and most went into the opposing lane, which has not been the norm for me around here. It flashes faster as cars approach and worked just fine not connected to my mobile device. Highly recommended.

A #truck driver has ignored warnings that his #vehicle is too high to get through the Schipoltunnel - officers of the #Netherlands #highway authority stop all the live lanes and escort the truck to a safe place.

Unfortunately this happens too often, and costs everyone a lot of time, especially during busy periods!
