  1. I agree, and it's not what I started this thread for. I've found out what happened and don't care about anyone's opinion on it - so if the mods could close this thread that'd be super.
  2. and the drinkers and the smokers and the druggies and the fatties. Everyone is an idiot.
  3. There's no where suitable for a crossing. There are a lot of side roads / car park entrances as you come up Beech Hill Road. The first place I can see where a crossing could go is here - which I suspect if you walked up to that point now then it'd be easier to cross. Whereabouts are you walking from / to - if you're walking to Broomhill - then why do you need to Glossop Road? If crossing Beech Hill Road is so dangerous then just walk up either side of it until it meets Whitham Road.
  4. Yes, this is me just being nosy. I've had a quick look on news sites, and can't see anything. I drove over there at around 21:30, as the road flattens out at the top (where the soft verges are that people like to park on) there were a lot of parked cars (odd for that late at night). There was an ambulance, and quite a few police vehicles. Two police ( / mountain rescue?) Land Rovers. A mountain rescuer (I think), was slowing traffic and asking us to drive very slowly past the ambulance. There was also a recovery truck that looked to be lining up to recover a car, but it didn't look like anything had left the road or there'd been any sort of collision.
  5. Have you said this the wrong way round, I've not found them to be self clearing. I had an intermittent fault on steering wheel airbag on my Xsara VTS (slip ring.. I didn't fancy a new COM2000 unit), when the connection played up it'd throw the light on - and stay on. On manually clearing the fault, it'd go off - and stay off until the next time the connection played up. If they were self clearing, then there'd be no point reseting them at all.
  6. Which part of it / building. It's quite spread out.
  7. I'm not condoning the actions of the driver, but if you're that worried about it.. shave some speed off and hop up onto the cycle path instead. I cycle down there most days and slow right down when going through there and if needed, use the cycle path. Pointless contacting the council, they'll just tell you to use the cycle path!
  8. I don't understand your point. In reverse, you have less visibility. So how is it safer to reverse from an area where there is no traffic (the drive) to an area where there is a lot of traffic (a main road)? It is safer the other way round, and the highway code states that.
  9. I appreciate that it's not going to be easy. Some people just don't care how their actions effect others. The whining I was on about was people having a go at Royal Mail. Sorry if it sounded like I was trying to have a pop at you, I wasn't. I don't understand why if a dog has attacked someone twice that it's not been taken away as a dangerous dog. Crazy.
  10. RM will do what they need to do to protect their staff. In this case, that means suspending deliveries. RM don't have the power to go and 'punish the dog owner' nor is it in their remit to do so. If the dog was in a single garden, then they could suspend deliveries to just that one house - but I remember reading earlier in this thread there are no fences between the front gardens of the houses and the dog just wonders around. Instead of whining on here, or at RM - go speak to the people who own the dog - find a solution instead of expecting everyone else to.
  11. I've always thought of it as being in Crookes. To clear it up I've looked on the council website (https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/elections/wards.html) and it seems that it's half and half!
  12. I agree, and the key point here is "all road users[/url]". I cycle across the city to and from work most days and the amount of idiotic actions I see cyclists and motorists alike performing is a worry. Sticking them up in the air won't help, it'll just be a massive waste of money and would need an awful lot of entry/exit points to make them attractive for use.. which ain't going to happen!
