They are more common in London and they include the death of a 9 year old girl, confirmed by a coroners inquest. The medical cause of death is commonly noted as asthma, caused in turn by air pollution as the coroner confirmed in this case: "My daughter Ella was a playful, happy child growing...

Only 45 per cent of the Underground is actually in tunnels. The longest distance between stations is on the Metropolitan line from Chesham to Chalfont & Latimer: a total of only 3.89 miles. Being London born I've had plenty of tube travel, especially when I was young, and afew years ago when I...

I see what you mean! .

They are, but they are not the only voice and opinion. Nor are cyclists and e-bikers of one opinion, very far from it as all cycling forums show. And you were commenting on the sale of e-scooters. Should cyclists make e-scooter law? Should vested interests alone make any law? I think not. .

"e-motorcycle, powered by a solar-power charged battery." .

What about: Bram Rotthier Bram Rotthier (B) is LEVA-EU’s technical director and board member. As a technical engineer, his objective within LEVA-EU is to build a bridge between members and technical regulations. He is also active in standardization and in the Motorcycle Working Group. Bram...

To illustrate Saneagle's advice but on a different bike, slacken the Allen bolts (1) to allow some free movement on the stem, then tighten the Allen bolt (2) which presses down the taper collar (3) and tightens against the top bearing (4).

I guessed that, but thought is worth pointing out how uncommon our position is. And its really just Great Britain rather than UK, since Northern Ireland has devolved transport law and largely complies with EU transport law, having an open border to the EU in Southern Ireland. .

No they aren't, it's really mainly Great Britain where their legal use is so restricted. Like the Segways that are also banned here, e-scooters are widely used legally around the world. Europe has widely legalized e-scooter usage whereas places like Jakarta, Singapore, and Shanghai, still ban...

That is closer to the position than you suspect. The national government took control of local government resources and expenditure a very long time ago. Allowing and even encouraging local government to indulge in speculation was strangely inconsistent with the control they normally exert...

It's government's duty to govern sensibly. As I posted, what on earth possessed them to think elected local councillors were equipped to make such major investment decisions. .

We don't know that, but even if it happens it will have no effect on private users. They'll just carry on breaking the law, using cells which will still be freely and legally on sale. .

There is no such thing as an illegal scooter. The general rule in UK law is that if anything has a possible legal use, it can be sold. The onus of legal use is upon the user, not the seller, logical of course since only the user has control over the use, the seller has no such control once...

No. It was lost money but not given to friends, though some of it probably ended up that way. Here and in some other authorities it all started with the crackpot Tory idea to allow Councils to invest. What possessed them to think that councils could successfully run businesses or play the...

Where did I say the new government? Quote: "Since we are existing on Government loans in Croydon, the cash must have come from central government to pay the contractors, so it looks like policy at work." "1.3 A Section114(3) notice was issued to all members of Croydon Council on the 11...

All repeatable around here, the worst I've ever seen in 57 years, and as said, not just the deservedly broke Croydon borough but Tandridge in Tory north Surrey. But now it's like a miracle has happened, miles of resurfacing and remarking all the lines and even the worst stretch not yet...

More like a 5 week plan in my area, there's been an extraordinary sudden program of road resurfacing over long stretches, in both my London borough and the adjacent Surrey borough, much better than tackling just the potholes of course. I'd almost forgotten what smooth roads were like in...

It's not a ridiculous idea or confined to the UK, it has long been widely accepted as necessary. The reason it is necessary was the invention of money and the ownership that money can buy. Before money, when our needs were more basic for such as food, shelter and warmth, the ratio of...

Maybe, though the authorities can be very vindictive. Remember the Great Train Robbery? Until then a sentence of ten years for an armed robbery was virtually unknown, yet they got up to 30 years each for their robbery not using guns, simply because the amount involved was so large. That...

My Nissan Leaf e-car is sometimes powered directly by fusion. For example, I charged it onthe 25th July and it informed afterwards me that I had 154 miles range available. I didn't use it then until the 31st July when I did a short run of 4 miles, after which I had 159 miles of range...
