Wow that is some impressively shit driving
This dangerous overtake on double white lines (A358, Taunton) was captured on #JourneyCam & reported via our portal. Heard at Bath Mag. Court 10/24 where driver pleaded guilty by post resulting in: 5 points £202 in fines/costs The outcome could have been so different! #Fatal5

The time has come. If anyone on #weirdcartwitter fancies doing this a plug, I'd be most grateful. It's a good one and after five years I'll miss it, but I'm buying a house and I'm skint. pistonheads.com/buy/listing/…

People need to chill. The Nations League is meaningless and I think it's good that Carsley is using it to try out some new things, even if they don't work - it's still useful to learn from. #bbcfootball

BEV market share not rising anywhere near fast enough to meet targets. 22% per mfr this year, 28% next year - and the market share figure below is skewed by Tesla who sold 28k cars @ 100% EV. Mixed-propulsion mfrs avg 15%. Lots of credit borrowing needed to avoid £15k/car fines.
⏰Official new car registration figures for September will be published Friday at 9am Here is how the market was looking into August with BEV market share edging up to 17.2% and expected to rise further to 18.5% by the end of the year thanks to increasing model choice smmt.co.uk/vehicle-data/car-…

... France, Germany, Spain, Romania and Poland. Combined. All of them. And they're still bombing apartment buildings and senselessly throwing countless lives away. WHAT IS THE POINT. Just go home.

Stayed in a National Trust cottage. Used their placemats. Immediately thought of @TheMERL . What an absolute unit.

Every single morning. How can a 5 minute shower last 20 minutes? It’s like some kind of time vortex
the ADHD urge to think you can shower “real quick,” then accidentally get lost in thought and end up running late

I have seen some stupid ideas in my time but this is probably up there. I just can’t see it striking too much fear into the hearts of LA’s more nefarious residents somehow.
Robot police in patrolling La that films and reports activities How do you feel about this

Every post now seems to feature replies by hundreds of GPT-powered blue tick bots posting anodyne re-affirmations of the existing post. Awful.

The Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence “GUR” released a video showing operations far behind enemy lines. Their places are in Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine such as Sevastopol, but also deep inside Russia itself. Moscow, Sankt Petersburg, Smolensk, Kaluga, Oryol, Belgorod etc. the message is clear: The GUR is everywhere.

I really like Andros Townsend on Co-coms. He says sensible things without too many cliches
