the taxpayers will have to pick up the cost of all of this - several high end #police vehicles needing to be replaced, officers off sick for months whilst they recover (they may even decide to quit RPU so the investment in their training is lost) #NHS costs to treat them, #NationalHighways clearing up the road and the disruption of one of the main routes up North being locked up for a few hours #RoadSafety #England

These common driving mistakes could cost you almost £1,000 in fines

This junction is dangerous. Everyone knows it, and nothing is done. The longer #NationalHighways dithers on infrastructure improvements, the more culpable they must be for injuries, deaths, and damage. Terrifying to think I've cycled this junction.

Had a look at the local #election results for this semi rural area - until recently folk *consistently* voted #Conservative, for "small government / low taxes" and #Greens are even less popular than Reform - now they are whinging because nature is fighting back (especially as #NationalHighways neglected maintaining the drains, although folk would have also complained about road closures) #Bedfordshire #A421 #floods #weather
