Truthseeker1976 @ActiveTravelNet ๐ด๐ปโโ๏ธRalpha (aka Phil)๐ด๐ปโโ๏ธ @mat_rosey Jonathan Stone Deryl Lynn Letโs drain the swamp They were laughing at someone mentioning โRoad taxโ.
Road tax hasnโt existed since 1937. Since then weโve had a Vehicle tax, known now as VED.
David Leask Venn @pro_elbows Catriona Stewart The Sad Cycle Lane The Herald This would make sense if the phrase was 'after a and b collided' but we see 'cyclist collided with a car' which suggests that the cyclist was responsible.

There is absolutely nothing to stop you from reporting that a DRIVER lost control.

Catriona Stewart Jon ๐บ๐ฆ๐น๐๐ #FBPE ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ช๐บ The Sad Cycle Lane The Herald Where many people do have an issue as here is saying 'A car ...' (flips, crashes, etc) and ignores presence of driver.
So, 'Provanmill Road crash injures eight children in Glasgow' (current GT headline) is fine.
But the Herald 'car lost control' isn't.
See the difference? 2/2
Catriona Stewart Bike Rogers The Sad Cycle Lane The Herald Make sure your bike doesn't lose control and crash into something.
Catriona Stewart If the story stated โPerson arrested as driver loses control of vehicleโ that does nothing to apportion blame. However, the current phrasing makes it sound like โoops, one of those thingsโ, contributing to the normalisation of road violence.
Catriona Stewart Maybe you didnโt mean that, but thatโs what it implies. The question is why isnโt it possible to adhere to these guildelines? Nobody would say โout of control knife stabs 5 peopleโ as thereโs human agency, and itโs factual to say so; the same when the tool involved is a vehicle.

Catriona Stewart Oh course it was.
The children were (allegedly) struck BY the motorist with the car.
The car cannot be held up for an alleged incident. Thatโs just surreal.
The Johnson apologist Lord Moylan accused Chris Bryant of having lied when he said BoJo lied to the queen. The Court of session ruling, later upheld by the UK Supreme Court proved conclusively that Johnson lied to the queen. Please RT and include Moylan just to piss him off
