A quick nod to @ntcouncilteam.bsky.social for not training their drivers with today's #DickoftheDay nomination. Their van parked up on the zigzags blocking the view of the #ZebraCrossing for other motorists. Staff just having a nice chat to their mates. #Tynemouth #RoadSafety #FuckPedestrians

If only there was somewhere not so illegal and dangerous to park...like across the road!!? The driver of this @sainsburys.bsky.social delivery van wins the #DickOfTheDay award for illegal parking on a #WhitleyBay pedestrian crossing today! #FuckPedestrians 🏆

#TopTip for Audi drivers. Help people see that you believe you are entitled to use your #mobilephone whenever you want by having it in a nice, easy to spot white case! Demonstrated well by this #DickOfTheDay in #WhitleyBay

"Come in number 6848, your time is up!" ...You would assume that a professional #NewcastleCityCouncil taxi driver would know: 1/ It's illegal to use your #mobilephone even while waiting at lights. 2/ MOTs make sure your car is fit for the road. This one fails on both! #DickoftheDay

Well, I suppose it's a little "off the road"...but only because it's a lot on the pavement! #IllegalCarStorage #SpaceForPedestrians #Longbenton #Newcastle #Reported

The "no trumpets" sign on the Barbican's pedestrian walkways is a new one on me

I'm hoping it wasn't the learner behind the wheel of today's #DickOfTheDay award! Today's lesson? When you decide to floor it on amber, make sure the car you are driving is capable of making it across the line before the #RedLight! #WhitleyBay

🚦 Moving Beyond the "Culture Wars" on Our Roads It’s easy to look at streets and pick a side, but the reality of transport is more complex than a headline or a social media argument. I’m opening up a conversation about how we actually keep #Tynemouth moving safely #RoadSafety #PrestonRoad #Transport

Today's #DickOfTheDay breaks at least 1 Highway Code rule here...failure to give way is the easy to spot. Is there another standard crossing rule broken too? Does it apply to this design? #Cullercoats #WhitleyBay #Tynemouth

Why women live longer than men #newcastle edition. #InvisibleMan

Today's #DickoftheDay winner. #Tynemouth Sea Banks. Texting away on his #MobilePhone, completely oblivious to me right beside him along a busy seafront with pedestrians crossing between parked cars and the coast path. But sure — tell us again why cyclists don’t need protected lanes. Exhibit A.

Worthy winner today. 600m from where a cyclist was killed by a driver a couple of weeks ago - this #DickoftheDay was driving staring down at his #MobilePhone #NorthShields

Today's winner of the #DickOfTheDay award... for this piece of illegal parking on zigzags outside of a school this morning. Note how close to the traffic lights I am by the time I can see the kid on the bike! #NewcastleUponTyne #ParkingLikeATwat #ForestHall #YPLAC

@sainsburys.bsky.social Your Whitley Bay delivery drivers are in need of retraining. Illegally parked on zigzags, blocking the view of the crossing for oncoming traffic & with loads of school kids around. Luckily the blurry reg saved them from a police report and 3 points this time. (Earsdon Rd)

Skilled motorists in #NorthShields these days... #MobilePhone in one hand, vape in the other. A finger is enough for the steering wheel!? Remind me again why cyclists need protected cycle lanes? #CuntOfTheDay

So do Greggs top up the meat for their sausage rolls by crushing cyclists!? Passed this closely by a moron driver - only for me to catch up with them 20 seconds later and pass them again! #ClosePass #PointlessPass #MustGetInFront #Newcastle

Newish #Wankpanzers come fitted with hands free kits yeah? Why do I always come to expect to see the driver of one of there with a #MobilePhone in hand!? Time for bans! #NorthShields #WhitleyBay

Another reminder of why we need cycle lanes on the coast. Without them, cocks like this would still be driving in the same space as us while using their #MobilePhone!! Time for bans?! #Tynemouth #Cullercoats #WhitleyBay #DickOfTheDay

The #DickOfTheDay award goes to this capital4training.org.uk driver. Busy #WhitleyBay seafront but he chose to text on a #MobilePhone while driving a 3 tonne van along the coast. Remind me why we needed cycle lanes to protect cyclists?

When did driving standards drop this far? A pedestrian crossing in #WhitleyBay being used as a carpark for takeaway food collection. Design changes would stop this. Narrow the crossing before someone is killed please! @ntcouncilteam.bsky.social #FuckPedestrians

I would have assumed that companies like #Openreach would train staff well enough to know that parking on the zigzags is illegal & dangerous. Van parked on a crossing used for access to the primary school on the right & the school parking on the left. #FuckPedestrians #ForestHall
