A Southwark Cyclists' volunteer will be helping police with their enquiries this morning with a particular emphasis on speed and other anti-social behaviours relating to motor cars. As far as War on the Motorist goes this is low level stuff but it's a pretty complete answer to the idea that if speeding mattered the police […]
Southwark Cyclist volunteer, Werner, will be wielding the speed gun this evening on Southwark Bridge Road. He's a dedicated speeder-catcher and currently tops the board for numbers of taxis caught in one session. Admittedly he hangs out in SE1 (principally) where the black cabs hang out too so he has an advantage on the rest […]
A Southwark Cyclists volunteer will be holding the speed gun in East Dulwich Grove -- giving drivers a little surprise when they tear out of the traffic lights. Fortunately the speedgun holders are protected by the long arm of the law in the form of PCSO Kevin Phillips and he in turn benefits from evidence […]
Southwark Cyclist Werner is a man who likes staying alive and after one particularly close pass, he decided to act. He will be wielding the speedgun on Long, Lane aided and abetted by PCSO Kevin Phillips. Kevin is an affable soul (see pic above) but he tends to chat so it's important to keep him […]
A Southwark Cyclist will be manning the speedgun on Christmas Eve. It's a good time to catch the tired and emotional feeling cross that they to go to work. They will be supported by PCSO Kevin Phillips who soothes those who come back to complain and has an ear open for bonkers excuses. "The wind […]
Southwark Cyclist Sally will be taking the fight against speeding to the motorway between Peckham and New Cross. Trafffic explodes out of the High Street jams (five sets of traffic lights) and sets off at speed to make up the "lost" time. PCSO Kevin Phillips and our volunteer will be there with our speedgun. Pedestrians […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer, Sally, will be pointing the speedgun at passing cars with PCSO Kevin Phillips who writes down offenders numbers. Lots of support from pedestrians and passing cyclists, possibly less enthusiasm from motorists. The speedwatch locations are suggested by the public and checked out by Kevin. The top speed logged so far (in a […]
A Southwark Cyclist' volunteers will be wielding the speedgun with PCSO Kevin Phillips. They get lots of support from passers-by. Less from motorists. The top speed clocked so far: 66. Ful details here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/66-in-a-20mph-zone/. Extra points for motor cycles and daft excuses "I was going downhill" and "the wind was behind me". You can join […]
How we police our roads (or don't) is a political big deal at the moment. You can help it up the agenda. Speedwatch produces the data which show how much speeding goes on when the police aren't looking. This report https://www.police-foundation.org.uk/publication/the-future-of-roads-policing/ calls for more emphasis on keeping the roads safe, It calls for the Home Office […]
Werner will be holding the speedgun and pointing it at errant drivers. The fall in cars on the road and the consequent fall in congestion have increased speeds. Whoever could have guessed that wide empty roads would increase dangerous driving!!! Roads policing is rising steadily up the political agenda and CSW has got a part […]
