    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    The real problem with the proposal is the throttle, not the power increase. Without a throttle in existing law the machine remains a pedelec and an EAPC, never an e-bike (motor driven bicycle). With a fully acting throttle it is no longer a pedelec or EAPC, despite the DfT saying it will...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Don't worry, it will. There are no unintended consequences. This change is merely an adjustment to the existing overall position within Great Britain, but not Northern Ireland. We could have had all this internally with Europe's blessing since the first introduction of EU law, if the DfT had...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    It's not maximum power though: Proposed changes The government proposes 2 changes to existing regulations: to amend the legal definition of how EAPCs are classified so that the maximum continuous rated power of the electric motor must not exceed 500 watts instead of 250 watts as set out in the...

    M62 horror crash between electric bike and lorry shuts road for nine hours

    Most likely failing to think at all about what he was doing. A hospital blood test will reveal if alcohol or drugs were involved. .

    M62 horror crash between electric bike and lorry shuts road for nine hours

    Crash into an e-bike without lights at 1.17am on an unlit motorway. Not much of an investigation needed. .

    Oh dear, any attempt to discredit a simple inconvenient fact! What I posted then proved beyond any doubt that statements that the great majority of ICU covid patents had not been vaccinated were bunkum, which wouldn't be altered by inclusion of a few patients with such a test. .

    I wouldn't argue with any of that, quite obviously the vaccine had a medicinal value in considerably lessening the ill effects of Covid infection, and I posted as such then while criticising some other aspects. But the government's own data which said that, also inconveniently proved that...

    You are so blinkered by your blind acceptance of all the government said that it isn't worth trying to argue with you, no matter what proofs I have. Even the government's own excellent measurement tool proved that the claims for the efficacy of the viruses were wildly exaggerated and also that...

    I think you should re-read my post. That is what I said how they passed responsibility to us. As Woosh confirmed, I isolated, and in addition ignored some of the governments more idiotic compulsory guidance to make myself even more safe. Such utter stupidity as ordering us to exercise only...

    Interesting, and I don't find it surprising. From the earliest days of the vaccines being applied I was critical of them, feeling it was far to premature. My view on dealing with new and unknown pandemics is to only take the most obvious precautions of masking, separation and the basics of...

    Actually it is what happened, as your sentence confirms. They shifted the burden onto us to deal with Covid with those restrictions. Queuing with two metre gaps, exercising in restricted local areas, having to go to all sorts of inconvenient places to get tests and jabs, while all they did...

    Attenborough was primarily speaking of Arctic polar ice, which your above link confirms is very real. I trust that, and I also trust the Inuits who live there and are no longer able to hunt the sea ice as effectively as they've done for many past centuries. Polar Bears are similarly affected...

    The first of these nucear icebreakers was in 1957, before there was today's awareness of the impending threat of global warming and icecap melt. In any case the nuclear aspect has nothing to do with any supposed inadequacies of diesel power. It is to allow winter long duty without having to...

    It's no longer a function of our government to deal with anything concerning us. That is our duty, as David Cameron's "Big Society" announcement made clear. Now government just warns and advises us of impending problems, then leaves us to deal with them voluntarily. So rather than the NHS...

    Or perhaps because the current level of consumption is so low. Any substantial increase in fuel cell vehicles would reduce that several hundred years of supply to tens of years in no time at all. So the hydrogen can stay where it is until the oil is in far more short supply, pushing the...

    Indeed, that is where FSD comes into its own as a very real advantage. One of my best customers and also a very good friend lost his life that way when still a young man. One of his successful business interests was connected with our North Sea oil industry, so he had occasional runs to the...

    Agreed, but no use on my car when exiting my road with its lack of any sightline when a bus is on the stand. Firstly the other car would have to have the system to prevent it hitting me emerging blind. Secondly because I have to have mine switched off in my estate and area circumstances, so...

    Simple task. You mentioned that you spend a lot of time on motorways, again the easiest environments for FSD, so clearly even level 3 FSD would be useful for you. The last time I was on a motorway was September 2019. For me FSD would be totally useless due to my range of driving activities...
