This is quite entertaining: the BBC’s Road Rage documentary which was originally screened earlier this month. It does, however, make everyone in London look a little bonkers (or worse). My favourite clip is the bit where the lady from Hampstead is arguing with a parking attendant and tells him that if she gets too many parking tickets her husband might get upset and dock her clothes money!
Of course the programme does actually raise some serious issues regarding the state of transport (public and private) in Britain in general, and especially in London. Although there’s rightly much attention on the recent spate of gang killings in the city I still believe sorting out London’s transport mess should be the number one priority for the Mayoral candidates.
It all came sharply in focus for me yesterday morning. As I was cycling past the roundabout outside Waterloo station I saw a driver get out of his white van and engage in fist-i-cuffs with a cyclist. (Not sure who was at fault as I didn’t really notice them until they started fighting and I had a train to catch so didn’t stop.)
