Fake Cornwall Taxi driver sets fire to woman's doormat after she refuses his advances

via taxi-point https://ift.tt/2Jr1C4t

A fake taxi driver in Falmouth, Cornwall, followed a young woman to her front door after she refused his advances and set fire to her doormat. The police and fire crews were called to the scene of the incident after Sophie Nagappa and two other passengers jumped in what they thought was a genuine taxi at a taxi rank in town. Although the vehicle had no taxi markings on it, Sophie and her two friends assumed it was a legit licensed taxi because she was used to riding in Uber's in Bristol which are also unmarked. During the journey Sophie claimed the driver was driving really fast and continuously slamming on the brakes. The driver is also said to of smoked and made phone calls. The fake taxi driver insisted on attending a party with the three passengers, but when they decided to go home instead he pursued them to their door. They managed to get inside safely but the man could be seen outside. He knocked on the door and walked around the home. Sophie then saw flames from beneath the front door. They managed to put the fire out but were very lucky they were still downstairs and able to see the flames. A description of the man was released, but no arrests have yet been made.

ABD: TfL Chief says cycle Superhighways brought in too quickly

via taxi-point https://ift.tt/2J73MXX

London Transport Commissioner Mike Brown conceded at a recent LBC event that former London Mayor Boris Johnson pushed through implementation of the first cycle superhighways too rapidly.

He said “I think it was ill-judged, it was too fast and ill thought through in the speed in which it was done which I’m afraid is the main downside of living in a democracy because people want to do things in their term”. In other words, Boris wished to get some implemented before he departed for higher things and pushed the plans through too quickly.Mike Brown did say that he supported the superhighways which he suggested had reduced accidents to cyclists and expenditure on cycle schemes is still rising.What was wrong with the cycle superhighways? They have increased congestion substantially – for example on a key east/west route along Upper/Lower Thames Street and the Embankment. Indeed cyclists have to now breath air on one of the most heavily polluted roads in London because of the air pollution from slow moving traffic and the fact that many buses and HGV/LGVs use that road.

The extra journey times were forecast but the cost/benefit analysis or consideration of alternative routes were not properly considered. Motorists are as a result deeply unhappy. Other routes including some still being developed are causing opposition from road users because of the lack of thought in their design and the impact on traffic speed and congestion. Transport for London (TfL) still seem to prioritise the needs of cyclists over all other road users while spending enormous sums of money supporting them when very little is otherwise done to improve the road network.But cyclists are also unhappy because of the poor design of some aspects of Cycle Superhighway 1 where there are junctions with other roads or it runs along main roads.If more consideration had been given to the design of cycle superhighways, and their routing, all these problems could have been avoided.
