True, he's a bricklayer. :)

They are different, because they're not 'crimes'. They're driving offences. Upon conviction of those offences, they would not appear on a criminal record.

As the saying goes.. The law is an ass. :rolleyes: The verdict was rightful and has had little impact on ebikers. It's a shame that the same can't be said for the unfortunate pedestrian. :oops:

The prosecution and defence agree that Hanlon did not have a licence or insurance for a motorbike, but he is contesting the first two charges because they require a fault in the driving, which contributed in a more than a minimal way to the death. A tragic accident no matter what. :(

Lots of new ebikes come with throttles fitted. You just have to plug them in yourself. So that no laws are broken by the seller. I've not heard of any of those being pulled for using a thumb throttle yet? I suppose that If you wanted one of those escooters then the 50 quid approval fee might...

As long as the motor operates with the 15.5 mph cutoff it's all good then. My Grandson will be 14 soon enough. I might get him one for his 1.5 mile bike path commute to school. How cool is that. :)

But not too dissimilar to the one in the original post on this query. :)

Yeah, I'm just kidding of course. :p Although, you could have always asked for a test ride. :D But hey, she's an American citizen and she knows her rights.. There's a lot of that about, on both sides of the pond. :oops:

I meant if you were her? :p:D

Let's not involve the police just yet.. :D How would you have dealt with the situation shown in the video above? :)

Yes, however, she obviously believed in her right to stop and question him for riding something that she clearly thought was illegal. :oops: We've been through something similar in the UK. Whereby the negativity towards ebikers led many to believe in the detrimental assumption that all ebikes...

Thanks for an informative post @Andy McNish. When I 'd moved from the bike path to the footbridge and stopped overhead, I wondered why they'd turned their priorities off and didn't alight from the vehicle? Perhaps, they were unsure of the legal intricacies that could unfold. All police...

Yummy yum yum. :D

I simply told you of what happened and how I evaded what may have turned into an improper stop check. I'd do the same again. I don't particularly have an issue with what anyone thinks about that. Although, if you have any other ideas, given the same scenario, I'd be happy to hear about them.

By glancing over my shoulder.

We can all think what we like can't we. :) But, nope, I never said that anyone phoned the police. I merely explained what I witnessed occurring and you made the same inference, after concluding on the basis of my written evidence and your reasoning, that I did that day. Well done.

You cared enough to comment. :)

The camera only points forward I'm afraid, and my dog trots at around 12 mph. Too fast for what? The Sabbath. :D
