@GWalker9 @BelTel Sadly, I don't blame you. I joined a club for safety in numbers but even in a group, you see some absolutely abysmal driving and needless aggression.

@BelTel @GWalker9 If you think it’s bad in a car, I implore to try cycling on NI roads to experience the full horrors.

@Economicopoly @eoinyk I remember reading that young people today have never been less likely to be killed (because they go out much less and less reckless generally) but never more likely to kill themselves πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

@eoinyk The ability to casually drink drive was a big factor imo, our parents generation got locked and drove home.. rural pubs and clubs are dead because taxis are non existent and, rightly, drink driving is now socially unacceptable and legally enforced.

@mseckington When I was contracting, the 2012 version of this book covered absolutely everything for contracting in the UK (limited companies, insurance etc) Only thing I'm not sure on is IR35 changes since 2017 https://t.co/bRne0EVXkU
