It isn't if you take the fast e-bike though single vehicle approval and register it etc. The police record isn't for doing 20 mph, it's for breaking motor vehicle laws which still apply the moment you set off however slowly on the road. Those are: Failing to obtain SVA, failing to register...

That never actually happened. Virtually all the scrap collected by such campaigns was never used, eventually making millionaires of those who cashed in on scrap and war surplus after the war, George Dawson being the most notorious of them. .

You are missing the point since you fail to understand the reason for pedelec law being in place: Authorities around the world have long wanted people to cycle more and drive less, but they recognise that not everyone can do that due to such things as steep hills, limited physical ability and...

Sorry Terry, but some corrections. Ours is not UK law, only the law of Great Britain, since Northern Ireland have all transport matters devolved so make their own law at Stormont. And the police don't catch you going 20 mph uphill, they catch you using your motor to do it for you, so that's...

This Tory government has definitely been stealing Labour's clothes. Nationalisation of Northern Rail. Confirmation that government control of Eastern Rail will continue. A policy of very large scale investment for the future. The continuation of the Triple Lock for pensioners. Expansion of...

Which doesn't matter. Some 90% of that 10% don't suffer an "illness" as you put it, they either have no symptoms, only learning they've caught it due to a suspect test, or their symptoms are mild and shrugged off. Ah, Long Covid. :rolleyes: I watched a program about it, a long convoy of...

Saying Freedom Day is misleading, their approach has been almost entirely voluntary throughout, with a minimum of cost and disruption to normal life. Ours has been for the maximum of disruption and cost with no benefit whatsoever, quite the opposite. I've much doubt this government could...

I've been preaching this for over a year now with the comparable countries of the UK and Sweden. The latter's voluntary approach has proved far superior throughout in terms of both infection rates and deaths. That's the opposite of what virtually all here were telling me last year, that...

That's the stuff, keep the hysteria going! What would we do without crisis to panic over? .

So a substantial growth in cases from 31st May to the present while under all the restrictions. Meanwhile Sweden with a voluntary approach went from 1439 cases per day on 31st May to 247 a day now, the opposite to us and as ever, much better. Now we have the voluntary approach too, so let's...

But it's the same people who've been saying there will be a continuous increase through to hundreds and thousands by Christmas. Now some of them suddenly saying continuous fall from now, following this new trend. I think Covid is being over hyped now by many, especially by the boffins who've...

Infection figures down again today, daily number down six days in a row, from 47k a week ago to 25k now. So much for Professor Neil Ferguson's forecast just over a week ago of the 52k steeply rising to 100k a day. Already other gloom mongers are changing their tune from disaster by Christmas...

But can we trust their figures? At the 31 May 2021 they stated they only had 47 deaths since their first infection cases in January 2020, so from the above they seem to have had a surge of 323 deaths in just 7 weeks since! Copied from Vietnam Info site. Updated 31 May 2021: Current snapshot...

What I expected short term, but I think it will decline as the year progresses. .

But as in Nev's area, our largest London Borough infection rate has been falling, BUT, so have our deaths which of course are unaffected by test availability. Last week zero deaths, down from 2 in the week before. .

Maybe they are up there, these are Scottish officers. Note only one identifies as a police officer. The other two have cunningly disguised themselves, Baldrick style, as country folk off to a pheasant shoot. .

Yes, for the trial only though, including the USA's 15 mph. If they do legalise them the government says it wants to fall in line with the EU, 350 watts and 20kph (12.5 mph). Not sure there will be weight limits, the EU doesn't bother much with them and we scrapped all pedelec weight limits...

It's the word Hire thats the clue. The US companies also get their scooters from the Orient, but the money is in city hire schemes, not in making and selling them. it's bit like the bicycle hire schemes, we have around seven of them in London, Whether the e-scooter hire schemes will pay here...

That is actually fact rather than suspicion. Nobody here dreamed up the idea, it was primarily lobbying our government by two US scooter hire companies that did. That coincided with the government desperate to have a US trade deal due to Brexit and Trump's "America First" insistence tending to...
