We are never going to solve this unless we have a joined-up approach. Otherwise, there is a general mood of disgruntlement, which I can hear and share. I go down the Chelsea embankment, and I regularly see cars accelerating to overtake, going up to 60 mph; it is a 20 mph speed limit. I have seen cyclists on road bikes who are legally allowed to do so going at about 25 mph, straining their Lycra. I have seen scooters and motorbikes accelerating to about 80 mph, with not a policeman in sight. Until and unless we use technology intelligently, we have more police on the beat and we have a more joined-up approach, we will continue to have these deeply enjoyable discussions during which we all vent our frustration.
