@sinvega @alex govt and insurance industry have been trying to nudge all drivers to have these for years - although I don't have any diagnosed conditions I only took to driving in middle age and drive cars with auto 'boxes so have to pay at least £120 extra on my own insurance *not* to have one)
All new/young drivers are being punished for sins of those from 30-40 years ago (when UK roads *were* pretty lawless), road safety has been part outsourced to insurance companies with a commercial interest, and young disabled folk are an easy target (their own age peers as well as folk in motor trade are grassing up on those who do make mistakes when driving on top of the rights desire in Britain to make life miserable for *everybody*
@vfrmedia @alex I liked the bit where of the 300 people revoked, one of them was driving super fast near a school or whatever oh how awful!!! danger!!!
okay but like... pretty sure they'd have got done for doing 100 in a school zone without anyone fucking spying on a million other disabled people. get fucked parasite
@sinvega @alex None of the insurance company apps are evidence quality (compared to having real speed patrols from the Police or other traffic authorities with calibrated equipment).
I've experimented with a GNSS tracking app on a spare mobile phone for my own car (so I could capture a GPX file and import that into Viking GIS to look at my route on the computer).
GNSS glitches caused my max speed on the M25 to be calculated as 1+J infinity km/h (I'm not even sure how/why it ended up as a complex number) - but I was not doing anything over 70 mph (or else I would have been quickly pulled up for it by the average speed cameras)
