We’d actually planned a cosy film night on the sofa, but @PupRufusAD was in a playful mood.
I reckon next time I’d better tie his paws down.😈😈

Driving instructor’s hi‑viz warning questioned as Highway Code puts duty on drivers, not cyclists’ clothing

A social media post by driving instructor Sheena Ahmed, of Motorvation School of Motoring, urging cyclists to wear high‑visibility clothing, has prompted West Yorkshire Cycling to examine how her claims sit alongside the Highway Code and the available evidence on road safety.

There's a sunny bright orange theme to my day.

There is another issue - #HiViz isn’t actually that effective (particularly yellow against a green background). It’s classic “we need to do something and this is something” and does nothing about the hierarchy of risk #ActiveTravel

Take that #HiViz evangelists.

"there is no evidence that either colour [white or fluorescent yellow] is more or less visible or more likely to be involved in an accident"

So wear what you bloody well like when you are out #cycling.

White emergency ambulances to be rolled out across North East

NEAS says switching to white ambulances would save about £1,000 per vehicle.

It was a dreary January day. Even my full high visibility gear for work couldn't cheer me up!

It brings back memories of the #Viz #January #Januaryland fake advert (contains profanity).

For those who are interested the van is a Volkswagen ID Buzz. It's an EV. Not that you lovely fedi people are like that but yes I spent a number of years considering whether EV's were ready for me as a business and no I don't need to hear the mostly false scaremongering about batteries.

This vehicle has saved my business about £2000 in just 6 months and that figures in the slightly higher leasing costs.

Plus it has a sub 8 second 0-60 😈
