Spotted yet another one speeding along the pavemenet when I went jogging uphill this morning - I reckon this one's a burglar, they're always up and about till about 4.30am. They really are all over the place at all times. Another Rapid Fatso.
(enlarged rather a lot from a video frame. There's very little motion blur at 1/960s shutter speed)

If they blocked AliExpress and other such websites using a Great British Firewall, or forced ISPs to block as they do a lot of websites infringing copyright, the savvy will simply use VPNs (very commonly used to access US video websites) to bypass and continue to buy. There's very little actual enforcement apparent on the roads - I hardly ever see cops, and I don't expect that to change. Unless they seize them at the ports, it'll be increasing tonnages of Rapid Fatsos on Sur-rons and the like forever, all the way down to cycling and walking hell for the rest of us. Cheaper to train and hire port officials than cops. On the other hand, I don't want them looking closely at all the duty and VAT evading cheap tat I buy from AliExpress, I doubt any of us with conversion kits do... therefore I'm in favour of employing a great many more rozzers on Sur-Rons chasing down all these bigly blubberous Rapid Fatsos ASAP.
