#2Everyone supports measures that save lives until they realize that sometimes it's a mild inconvenience.

#3Anyone able to translate this? "If someone is doing 20, you have a proper tailback."
Specifically a "proper tailback"

A tailback is a traffic jam / queue. A "proper tailback" is a really big traffic jam. "Proper" in this context basically means big or major.

#7UK over the years has been destroying something immensely valuable that you can't get back quickly. For example, there are barely any speed cameras on local roads in the UK (compared to other European countries) and yet almost everyone drives under the limit. It's the same with police not needing guns. I think people just don't understand how valuable (and unusual) this is.
Edit: As has been pointed out to me, there are a lot of speed cameras in the UK, but half of them are in the London area where I don't drive (and the rest are mostly motorways) which is why I had that impression.

It means a line of vehicles behind you; a traffic jam.

#9The "faster to bike" is a sign that may be driving isn't necessary after all.
This article is kind of silly, and it's even worse seeing it from the BBC. I remember as a young person thr BBC felt more impartial than US news orgs but this article reads like a "news" piece from a sinclair owned station ranting about bikes and blacks.
