My local Tory MP Richard Benyon banned for 6 months for (amongst other offences) using his phone while driving…

I do hope he takes to his bike and gets to experience the joys of navigating West Berkshires cycling “infrastructure” 😆 Given his vast family wealth I have my doubts.

On the plus side, he is taking it well, he is doing his time and he might use a bike. The negative is that he should know better

It’s a lot better than the teenager caught doing 120 mph in Fife who didn’t get a ban due to extenuating circumstances, like taking family to church and a 3 hour journey to work

Has he not heard of the cycle to work scheme?

The Green Party started a Go Fund Me appeal to buy him a second hand bike, which is an excellent piss take. Money raised will actually go to a mental health charity, (assuming they present him with a £30 eBay P.O.S)
