The driver was a repeat offender who had just got his license back. How is this justice? #RoadCrime

This is one of the things with #RoadCrime - that car with expired VED and dodgy tints that's just done a dangerous overtake...

“People do crime so we should discourage walking anywhere” is also part of it, while at the same time police forces deprioritise #RoadCrime.

A lack of roads policing? Stuff like that should be a big wavy flag saying “please stop me” and I think there’s decent evidence that people who are willing to flout the law while driving are also often up to no good elsewhere.
I’d go for6 points and seizure of vehicle, personally #RoadCrime

Some positive interventions announced here, but without seeing the full #RoadSafetyStrategy it's hard to know if it goes far enough on ending #ExceptionalHardship, improving enforcement, and designing safety rather than speed into our road layouts #SaferStreets #RoadCrime

Do we have to have this argument again? Is it 1970 or something? #RoadCrime

“Matthew Marston, who had previously totted up 12 points on his licence, six of which were for phone offences (escaping a ban after pleading exceptional hardship)”
Demonstrating again why #ExceptionalHardship should not be allowed @cyclinguk.bsky.social #RoadCrime

And despite the effect antisocial driving has on communities, it’s just not seen as a priority.
This needs to change #RoadCrime

It’s crazy really, especially as I was under the impression that people willing to to commit #RoadCrime were also often up to no good elsewhere.

Yes, but this is deliberated evasion of the law. Car should be seized as non-road-worthy, with points and a fine. #RoadCrime

This. I don’t understand why people don’t see there’s no point in new rules about anything if the existing ones aren’t enforced.
This is mainly performative mind you, and will do nothing at all for #RoadCrime

This is an interesting listen about how GMP’s problems were addressed - include a doubling of the traffic division #RoadCrime

No, not at all. And it just demonstrates that, despite its effects on both public safety and quality of life, GMP don’t take #RoadCrime seriously.
How do we change this?

The police haven’t got the resource (or the priorities) to adequately police #RoadCrime.
But if they’re going to rely on #ThirdPartyVideoReporting then it needs adequate resource and consistent processing, and both are questionable at the moment.

The cruel debacle of this young man's death by an entitled American diplomat on a British road continues to throw up more horrors.
"Northamptonshire police apologise to Harry Dunn’s family for failures investigating his death" […]

I can’t understand why the answer to this isn’t to find more resource #RoadCrime

I’d be interested to know what the evidence is for potential-sentence-as-deterrent (maybe @barristersecret.bsky.social or @crimegirl.co.uk can help) but I think the real deterrent would be people thinking they’ll get caught, and given the state of roads policing in the UK… #RoadCrime

This is not a trivial error of judgment, and should deserve a lengthy ban with extended re-test, if not a life ban #RoadCrime

Given that #RoadCrime has such a negative effect on people’s lives (from 5 deaths a day and more seriously injured, to general loss of wellbeing) it’s really hard to understand why roads policing is such a low priority.
We need more enforcement (by cameras as well as officers) and more life bans.

motorist kills a pedestrian and gets mad at him for dying because it will be inconvenient for her. her punishment is to stay home for a little bit and some unpaid work. unreal. this is the UK. #roadcrime #motonormativity

As part of the Plan for Drivers the current Conservative government want to make policing #RoadCrime in this way harder. Let’s hope that an incoming government feels differently

They’ve also consulted on making it harder for councils to use camera enforcement to reduce #RoadCrime which is tone deaf, when shit driving is apparently a major source of complaint at councillors’ surgeries.

A reminder this is the #PartyOfLawAndOrder running a consultation on making road rules harder to enforce. Meanwhile #RoadCrime results in #FiveDeathsADay and far more seriously injured.

This is an appallingly biased survey, & tone-deaf at a time when the public is increasingly concerned about the low standards of driving & resulting danger.
We need more enforcement, not less, & councils should be enabled & encouraged to do this.
