The Danger of Twitter

Twitter alert!!!

Now, here at Bristol Traffic, none of us do Twitter.

It's not our thing, so we leave that to others like @ipayroadtax to point out how cyclists continuously get in our way, without contributing to the costs of our roads.

More importantly, we don't do twitter because we know how it can be used to persecute us.

Take this example: here's an innocent tweet from a motorist (@andythomas365), sitting waiting for the lights to change just north of Stokes Croft:

Nothing wrong with this, you might think, except some clever clog spotted it and has now alerted the Police to the use of a mobile device to take photos whilst driving...

See that? 

The Police are straight on to it, even pointing out where to go to find out how many points you may get for using a phone while waiting at the lights.

Our advice: stay away from Twitter!

Life On Cars is on Twitter

THAT'S right - you can now keep up to date with even more motoring news, thanks to the tiny little box of tweets on Life On Cars as of today.


For ages it's been the case that there are too just too many snippets of car-related news to squeeze onto even this blog, plus I have lots of general observations about all things automotive which are just too brief to merit a full-on article. Luckily, Twitter is on hand to help.

If you head onto Twitter make sure you follow @lifeoncars - and in return, you'll get treated to the good, the bad and the Ssangyong Rodius of what's going on across Sefton and West Lancashire. Including a rather exciting event tomorrow, as it turns out...
