No. Wisper has represented supplier interests in a very few meetings with our own British legislators but not in the wider EU legislation context as far as I know. They have on the other hand used a parliamentary lobbyist on behalf of pedelecers interests. I've never taken any part in any...

Full frame opening can be ordered as part of double glazing etc., here's one of my inward opening ones that can be cleaned both sides from indoors:

It's the benefit of the fires, a few more deaths and they really will start giving them away to get them out of their warehouses! .

I'm not surprised, I never saw or heard of them catching fire in other areas of the country. But we didn't have only one design of rear engine bus in London, many were no different from those in use elswhere since we had abandoned the former one double decker bus design policy and bought a...

Judged solely from an incident I saw years ago, they bounce better. Driving on a typical busy London Road with car traffic at about 30mph on both sides , a black guy suddenly appeared running fast from a side road straight across our road without looking. Miraculously he got through the gap...

As you've previously posted, diesel fuel only become a risk when it is heated and that has shown up very clearly in our numerous London diesel bus fires. When we had the traditional buses like the RT and RM with front engines and radiators open to the air in front, there were never any fires...

True but still a very small chance, and as I've pointed out a few times before on this subject, mainly due to the high Tesla sales here, that brand being notoriously most to blame for such fires, for obvious reasons. Some opposing and slightly more recent data from 2022, from a country with...

His bike did not have an illegally powered motor in law, he was riding a motorcycle in breach of the Two and Three Wheeled Type Approval regulation 168/2013. That contains an exemption from being a motor vehicle providing certain conditions are met, in the case of bicycles the conditions...

Yes it does, don't you remember all the photos of the burnt out London diesel buses I posted for you to see. This is an account describing the the video'd incident below: "An orange fireball could be seen erupting from the vehicle as thick clouds of smoke billowed through the air. Meanwhile...

What type of car is most likely to catch fire? The number of cars likely to catch fire per 100,000 sales by type (Statistics for 2021): BEV ICE Hybrid 25 1529 3474 https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/the-latest-car-fire-statistics/

It is, that is the law. The UK does not have a *jay walking" law, pedestrians can cross the road wherever they wish to. It is always and has always been, the responsibility of a vehicle user to stop for them without a collision. That is why cyclist Charlie Alliston was sent to prison for 18...

It's a Model Y thread which may explain. Their two newest models, the 3 and the Y were developed to use Tesla's own large cell batteries, the 21700 and 4680 celled. But as I've previously reported, Tesla have been having big problems producing enough of those cells, so to keep up with demand...

Without knowing what charge they already had when plugging in, the numbers are meaningless. I know from my own experience how the phase down happens and it corresponds with those charge times I quoted for cars that could accept those high charge levels. Ok, you hate e-vehicles but you try...

I disagree, read the answers. All rapid and ultra rapid chargers only deliver the full amount initially and slowly and gradually phase down the rate as the battery fills, the rate falling off a cliff at 80% charged to protect the battery. The person complaining was already at 68% charge...

You made the mistake of saying too much by also implicating the Liverpool car park fire, saying that was an electric Range Rover, when there was no such thing in existence at the time. That too was a diesel only. Yes, electric cars can catch fire, but far less often than petrol and diesel...

Again this persistent lie. It was definitely a diesel, not a hybrid or a pure electric. We know exactly which car and the owner who tried to deal with the fire, which started as he was driving it. We have witnesses to the rivers of burning fuel running along the floor spreading the fire to...

Not quite that bad, we already have over half that charging rate for some cars with leads easily handled. This is from just one of the companies involved, Gridserve: "That takes total High Power charger installations for the year to 118, which means we now operate 141 High Power 350kW-...

If they are considering exempting the Brompton for an outside company, I'd think they'd also exempt their own machines. But we constantly get these scare stories that never happen. We seem to be in that sort of media age now. .

We've long had a problem with the newspaper industry, but now we have added an additional media mad age of our own creation since the 1990s. Since then, a formerly powerless public have all gained an unstoppable, uncontrolled media voice through the internet, so like any power without...

You just didn't think this through before criticising. These hire bikes have to be left at their official stations where they get charged, so although one can ride to work leaving the bike at one of those nearby, you wouldn't be taking it into work all day long and paying dear for that. And...
