The response of Keely's family should be noted. @safestreetsnow.bsky.social #SafeStreetsNow

Keely's family said in a statement that, while they respected the court's decision, the sentence did not reflect the "enormity" of her death.

"Keely was just 15 - full of life, hope, and endless possibilities. Her death has devastated our family and community," they added.

"The pain of losing her in such a violent and preventable way will remain with us forever.

"We believe more must be done to ensure that dangerous/careless drivers face real consequences."

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Excellent editorial here. An SUV causes 16 times as much road damage as a regular car. They're way more dangerous in collisions or if one hits a pedestrian or cyclist. They have no redeeming factors and 99%+ are just ego wagons for their drivers. Tax them to hell www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Observer view on SUVs: they are too dangerous and too big, their drivers should be made to pay

If a car generates more potholes, takes up more space and poses more risk, it is only fair that its owner pays more

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

A graphic with a blue sky background and white clouds. The text reads: "Harmful NO2 levels are estimated to be lower in 2024 compared to a scenario without ULEZ". The reductions are listed as follows: Central London – 54% lower, Inner London – 29% lower, Outer London – 24% lower. A source link at the bottom reads: london.gov.uk/ulez.
