Ok slightly off topic as it is not electric (apologies for that) but surely this cannot be legal in the UK ? Can it ?

Dead link on their 'Road Legal Procedure'.......
The problem is they are very clever, as they fit a kill switch, so the moment the old bill pull you up, one would hit the kill switch and it would be up to the police to prove you had been using it, and if you are pretending to pedal as well, the level of proof needed would be almost impossible to gainDead link on their 'Road Legal Procedure'.......
Frankly, it's the biggest load of horseshiit I've ever read, and that's saying something.Ok slightly off topic as it is not electric (apologies for that) but surely this cannot be legal in the UK ? Can it ?

Unfortunately, judgements like just serve to prove the law is indeed an ass.Not so!
There was a case in the old 'clip on' days of someone peadalling a broken down motorised bike. It was held to be a motor cycle even if the engine did not work. Similar case with someone freewheeling a car.
Nope it is just to stop people trying to use legal loop holes. By saying if it has a petrol engine its a motor vehicle stops any ambiguity.Unfortunately, judgements like just serve to prove the law is indeed an ass.
But what if the person behind the steering wheel of a car being pushed along a road is only 10 years old?Unfortunately, judgements like just serve to prove the law is indeed an ass.
My point is - a mechanically propelled vehicle without any mechanical propulsion is just a chicken shed with wheels. It's an object, not a car or motorcycle.Nope it is just to stop people trying to use legal loop holes. By saying if it has a petrol engine its a motor vehicle stops any ambiguity.
Well one would like to think that copper who saw someone trying to move a vehicle to a safer place after a break down would use his common sense and assist to get the job done. But if he see the vehicle being pushed / free wheeled over a large distance then that is not making things safer and he would then act accordingly.My point is - a mechanically propelled vehicle without any mechanical propulsion is just a chicken shed with wheels. It's an object, not a car or motorcycle.
If one breaks down and the owner/occupant is trying his damnedest to get the heap off the road, he should not be pilloried for trying to do the right thing.
The law doesn't agree with me, that's fine; but it's still an ass.
