Yes, that's the discredited NEDC measure of course that applied for all cars three years ago. Legal claims won't succeed since the NEDC figures were only for guidance and were not legally binding. In addition the way cars are driven seriously affects range, alone makimg legal action...

Fortunately the old discredited NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) range figures for all cars are now discontinued. Now have WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure) which is far more accurate. For example, my 2018 Nissan Leaf electric car would have had an NEDC mixed...

No, it's perfectly legal to have a 200 watt or 180 watt one, there are examples. But if labelled or sold as 250 watts, it must meet that as a minimum as VFR says. .

I like this line from their reaction: "The UK proposals do not match even remotely what was agreed as a sufficient compromise in the backstop." So much for Boris Johnson's promises of a workable deal. I still see the return of Theresa May's deal being on the cards. .

They can't when there isn't one because so many have been closed and they can't afford the fares or the time to go to a more distant remaining one. The cuts so many libraries have suffered mean many don't have such luxuries as learning rooms, we've even lost our mobile library service. .

This bit is what qualified my given Like, I am totally against homework for schoolchildren for these reasons and more: It's abused by lazy teachers sending what should be done in school outside. Some ambitious schools overload the amount of homework to try to get better results in the league...

And that of course is what has long crippled the state education system. The private sector selfishly creams off the top end, leaving the lower end that drags down the rest the strongest influence in the state schools, as you've illustrated. The answer isn't creaming off the top, the best...

Musk couldn't help, the USA was strongly opposed to Galileo ever being created. .

No chance, the Atlantic sits on two tectonic plates, separated by an expanding slit of molten lava, America and Europe continuously moving slowly apart. .

Rubbish, we couldn't even launch the satellites. .

The European Par liament reached the same conclusion about three years ago and forwarded a proposal to the EU Commission to change the law accordingly. The Commission rejected the proposal. I can see their point. If an owner having bought a crank drive bike with treble the power then changes...

This is madness when they intend to sell very much more to the wider world yet we have such a lack of producers of tangible things to sell. Johnson and his allies don't seem able to see beyond the end of their noses. .

But this if accepted still means May's deal except for the backstop, a deal that was totally rejected on various grounds, especially by the Tory right. How come it's ok now? .

Yup, it's the technology solution that the EU rejected when Theresa May was PM. .

Don't hold your breath! The lies take precedence. .

It's just a historic difference, resulting from updating old law. Our 1983 UK law when the power allowed was only 200 watts, specified it as a maximum as measured to BS 1727 rules. But when it was updated in April 2015 to 250 watts to align with the EU, the wording wasn't changed so maximum...

The UK law does specify Maximum power of 250 watts. But the applicable technical standard EN15194 does not. .

The 10% tolerance is a long standing convention for all road speed limits and is specified by the DfT. They have confirmed that this also applies to the pedelec assist speed limit There is no link, the DfT confirmation was in an email, a common practice of theirs. Applying the 10% tolerance...

He will argue that he isn't, since he expects/hopes late court actions they take will overrule parliament's blocking of leaving with no deal. Anti-democratic etc. This is probably what Johnson and JRM are banking on. .

The intelligent would of course understand the hidden insults. But of course there's a problem with one of mine too. When referred to as the Esteemed Member they might think they're being called a prick. .
