The bicycle industry really needs to settle on a singe bottom bracket standard. It's not like there's a significant difference in performance from the million different variations. An industry-standard rear derailleur hanger would also save a lot of headaches where people try to hunt down a replacement for a frame that's been out of production for years.

It's been surprising to see just how many pro-car users seem to lurk on these anti-car/pro-alternative transport communities.

From the Welsh government's FAQ again: "The evidence from around the world is very clear – reducing speed limits reduces collisions and saves lives." The intended benefit is to reduc the risk of collisions and to reduce injuries in the case of collisions. Lowering the speed limit will result in both of those things, and so we will be seeing the intended benefit.

The FAQ in OP's link tells you that it is not all 30mph roads, but rather all restricted roads, with a link to a map of all 30mph roads that are staying 30mph as well as the option to see which restricted roads will change to 20mph. "Restricted Roads" is a classification of roads in law that is defined by the lamppost density, so this change won't affect larger and more rural roads where lampposts are more sparse.

Once upon a time the use of the exercise was to... question the PM. Nowadays it's little more than a tool for political point scoring.

I'm with you, I want to watch but I also want the PM to actually answer a bloody question every now and then. I feel there needs to be some kind of requirement for the PM's response to actually answer the question given.

I would even much rather they just say "I don't have than information to hand" or "I can't answer that question right now but will provide a response within X timeframe" rather than waffle and spin their way to their preferred talking point that they think will appeal to the voters.

Modern petitions seem pointless at the best of times, but petitioning a private company seems particularly futile. They have zero obligation to even recognise the petition, let alone act on it.

I'm all for political figures being given the right to change their minds, it's just a shame that in this case they've gone from the right decision to the wrong one.

Also, obligatory eye-roll at using the Mirror as a source.

I know we're dealing with human aliens, but there is actually a thing called takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as "broken heart syndrome", where your heart weakens as a result of emotional trauma.

It is rarely fatal, but deaths have occurred as a result of it.

Just went down the legislation.gov rabbit hole, and it seems there are regulations on headlight height and angle that have been in place since 1989, but unfortunately no maximum power or brightness restrictions.

Which means that although a driver could be fined for using excessively bright headlights, the manufacturer of the car could not be fined for making the car like that in the first place.

Perhaps if things like these noise cameras gain in popularity it will encourage the lawmakers to look at other issues like this one.

There is already the regulation in the Highway Code:

114: "You MUST NOT use any lights in a way which would dazzle or cause discomfort to other road users"

The "MUST NOT" indicates that this is a legal requirement and so it is a criminal offense to disobey it. Now if we could get the police to actually ENFORCE the legal requirements in the Highway Code, then maybe things might improve on the roads.

You need headphones with multipoint functionality. If your current pair can't connect to multiple sources at once already then you may need to buy new ones that can.
