Anti-social motorists get ASBO'd!
As Mayoral candidates gathered for the 'transport and active travel hustings' we staged a mass protest against irresponsible car owners in Bristol - distributing ‘ASBOs’ to cars or drivers having a negative impact on the community, environment, or both.
The ‘ASBOs’ are a direct response to the remarks of Mayoral candidate and Councillor John Rogers on ‘anti-social cyclists’. Climate Rush Bristol believes that whilst an irresponsible minority exists, it is not limited to cyclists. The ASBOs seek to highlight irresponsible motorist behaviour and lobby the mayor candidates to treat cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians as equals in all decisions.
The A5 ‘ASBOs’ which were tucked carefully, and without damage, under the windscreen wipers of vehicles this morning define ‘anti-social motorist behaviour’ as one or more of the following:
· Parking on the pavement and obstructing pedestrians, wheelchair and pushchair users
· Leaving your vehicle running whilst stationary
· Having an excessively large or inefficient vehicle
We'd love you all to take action to highlight antisocial behaviour, so get your own ASBO here. Feel free to adapt and print as many as you like!
