I'm just struggling with the maths, out of a total of 5130 reports they've got 5632 outcomes?!

Avon and Somerset are our local area, Bristol will be a huge percentage of those, it's an absolute nightmare on the cycle paths in Bristol, let alone the roads, can't see it improving any time soon, especially with escooters being used more and just so many of them wearing headphones and barely looking where they're going, at least it something cyclists and motorists can agree on!

Yeah, some reports covered multiple offences, I think.

i live in Bristol too - it's bit of a mess. Voi's are good in general, but they do get some pretty bad riders. And these 'mega scooters' (for want of a better term) i'm seeing more of. Reckon they do 30-40mph. Big chunky things, headlights, the works. See them overtaking cars and stuff. Sometimes even wearing full face helmets! I've had people fly past me on the B2B path too. Going *fast*. It's going to be very tricky to police...

I work up by the campus, so a bit skewed with students flying about on them, i just see so many near misses, like the run from the campus to Asda and Sainsbury, we've all been young and daft, but i'm amazed there's not more incidents, the Voi's are great, but Bristol is a nightmare for traffic and pedestrians!
