Suppression is not that easy. I remember one e-bike case where the traffic officer wouldn't let it go, even after being stopped from acting repeatedly. Also a police officer cannot be ordered to ignore a law broken and stopped from prosecuting it if determined, not even by the most senior...

There didn't have to be that evidence of riding speed. He's confessed to the offence before a court full of witnesses and the vehicle itself supports his confession. It's enough, but as said, it's highly unlikely a case would result. But technically it can as I've shown, since it can be...

It's in his interests, the worse this becomes, the better the excuse for any economic failure becomes. If the pandemic doesn't materialise here, he'll claim that was due to his measures. For him it's win win. .

Thanks for this information, I wouldn't know since I've been firmly an environmentalist for some sixty years and avoid fossil fuel use as far as possible, much easier now than formerly. First thing I did when I bought my newly built property 52 years ago was rip out all gas, including having...

All over the UK, including here in London, there are red diesel pump outlets blatantly serving any car driver directly into the vehicle as well as cans, without question, and seemingly perfectly legally. They have a notices on each pump and on the adjacent walls, warning against illegal use...

It's thought that they would apply tariffs rather than boycott, that will be just as damaging for our market there with tariffs at perhaps at 20% or more. .

Surely the Unionist farmers wouldn't dream of such a thing? They insist they must be treated exactly the same way as we are in the mainland UK. .

Now we pensioners have lost our free TV licences, I can see the free prescriptions disappearing too with this government and Brexit. .

Maybe an indication that the farmers are about to be sold down the river in the way our fishermen (and women*) are about to be. * I just couldn't bring myself to type fisherpersons. .

Our current UK law on red diesel is very complicated. For example it can be used in boats for a wide variety of uses, including propulsion, but not navigation. Work that one out! Basically though it's not approved for pleasure boating propulsion while it can be used for all other purposes on...

As posted on this link, it could be politically undesirable. On a minor point, he might not have been challenged on the vehicles illegality, it appears he volunteered that guilt on defence advice, perhaps to seek some sentencing advantage. We'll have to wait until the day an individual police...

I disagree. The offence of using an illegal vehicle was over a period of time and place, mostly totally unrelated to the time and place when the charged offence occurred. There is precedent in speeding law. Drive through a Gatso or similar speed trap and detected at an illegal speed and an...

Not at the moment since he hasn't been found guilty of anything and the crushing can only be with a court order following a related conviction, usually by magistrates. As you've posted, he's free to ride again. .

That's why he's committed this offence, to keep alive his claim that the world is against him, so satisfying those chumps who are foolish enough to believe his fairy story. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is just a worthless delusional thuggish yob, nothing more. .

Almost. He can be punished for the separate offence of using a vehicle that was illegal on the roads since he, through his defence team, has already declared that guilt but not been sentenced for it. Of course the police probably wouldn't bother since it would only involve a fine, though...

It's still too useful because it makes any new type appearing automatically illegal until it becomes approved in law. Breathing space for government while keeping the public safe. In that way it enabled rapid action by the police to prevent Segways injuring pedestrians and control the menace...

No, because the drivers are tested and approved, insured to compensate for any harm, and are identifiable and traceable. It's precisely because pedelec riders are not that the severe restrictions have to be applied to the vehicle. .

That depends on the occupation or activity, but you are taking far too sweeping a view. In the vast majority of instances a spent conviction need never be disclosed to anyone. That is the whole point of the rehabilition act. .

But that could never apply in this case, since any custodial sentence would have been short. .
