You're in JimJay, riding on the A1: Map Link .

Nice idea, but not strictly true. "Although there is no minimum speed limit on the majority of UK roads, you can still be fined for driving too slow if it is seen that you are a hazard to other road users. There is no specific penalty for driving too slowly and as such, penalties may be as...

I don't see the problem you do with that video's distortion. It's not 7000 invading Lampedusa. It's 7000 moving to join the EU's 448 millions, via Italy's 59 millions. Thoroughly good thing too, levelling out the world's wealth and resources is very long overdue. .

Yes, next edition Monday 9pm BBC2, the Johnson - Dominic Cummings saga. Don't suppose there will be any revelations, but we can always hope. .

Here your go: Arse over Elbow. = 屁股超过肘部 Pìgu chāoguò zhǒu bù Can't help much with the pronunciation though, just make it sound like you have a Jews/jaws Harp between your teeth when you speak. .

There isn't a link, which I can well understand. They are hardly likely to publicise loopholes. The information has always been given by the DfT in letters of reply, but they have legal force since the DfT are the legal authority. The last such reply was their confirming that the 10%...

Yes, I was not quoting a police guideline. I was quoting the DfT's definitive ruling, and it is they who make the law. If the limit is 30mpg, 33mph actual is permitted and not subject to prosecution. If the limit is 70, 77mph actual is permitted and not subject to prosecution. In fact the...

That was perfectly legal, being the 10% tolerance allowed on all speed limits. 34mph would have been illegal, the penalty being a fixed one of a £100 fine and three points on the offender's driving licence. It did that many years ago, there are motor vehicle classes that cover higher speed...

That's correct in respect of the Road Traffic Acts speed limits, they are for motor vehicles. However, local authority speed limits such as on promenades and those in enclosed private areas such as business depots and commercial estates do apply to everything, bicycles included. .

For me it was only one MP puncture in many thousands of miles. And that blackthorn puncture so slow that I was able to ride the over five miles home with one simple pump top up, doing the repair later. .

You can bet they are serious. Honda constantly produce innovative designs of small powered two wheelers, as far back as 2001 putting their brilliant Step Compo onto the market: https://global.honda/en/newsroom/worldnews/2001/2010405.html Despite what the link says, the Step Compo was sold...

No. I don't agree with this: "He added: "It began with the Leave campaign making lying a central part of its strategy during the Brexit referendum. "The BBC's response was to 'balance' these lies with information from the other side - rather than using their editorial judgement to call out...

Probably illegal, the Americans rarely take into account laws elsewhere as their hire e-scooters show. But when will it sink it in that friction drive onto tyres is largely useless and never makes it in the market? Repeatedly there's these announcements of breakthroughs for at least eighty...

Not Sadiq Khan, it's you who is losing it. This is the second time I've had to tell you how behind the times you are. It's up to Boroughs, not the mayor, whether they have 20 mph limits and many have had them for years. My London Borough of Croydon has been 20 mph limited for years, the first...

With a driver leaving his vehicle and completing all the later stages, which cannot be automated at any feasible cost. No point in arguing about it, just watch it not happen. It was back in early 2018, as Woosh may remember, when an automation Guru's lecture attracted much appreciation and...

Everything indeed, except anything useful. :confused: .

But it's not possible to have a standard system. How would a self drive vehicle deliver here? Many of our pavements in this hilly estate have intermittent staircases, often long. Even at my home, one of many flats like it, the approach to the front door of the block is another set of stairs...

I'm not surprised that he has changed direction so completely, after the shame of having to admit to the US Transportation Board that his self drive system was only level 2, driver must be in control at all times and the system only an aid. But of course it still doesn't change what I've just...

While there are some degree of truths in all that, it isn't going to happen in the world we have. That brutal hill I mentioned wasn't because of steepness alone or even that. The outward bound side is a tight, narrow twisty uphill heavy with fast traffic and very dangerous for bicycles. The...

I think you are missing the point I made, that the world cannot make e-cars, or any cars for that matter, fast enough. The fleet replacement cycle in Britain is 23 years. So there's no point in you having a charge point within hours if you can't get the e-car. Even when I bought mine five...
