Saw this while on the BBC. Maybe this is unfair - the police have a job to do, they were investigating a murder, and they can park where they like. But really, did they need to? If even they have just defaulted to parking on the pavement, what hope is there?

Will that take some of the heat out of the situation?

The usual misinformation being peddled, an interviewee at 8:21am on the BBC Breakfast news was calling for legislation to "require insurance for these vehicles that can go faster than 15.5mph" - when there already is legislation (it's just rarely enforced, as is the case with a lot of road crime). Then the example of the pedestrian who was hit by an illegal e-scooter rider, who thought she would be safe as she was on a crossing. But she was carelessly crossing on a red man. Had she been mown down by a car driver, she would likely have been far more seriously injured and this probably wouldn't have made the news!

@mdavidford That was my assumption, but have just had a look and it does seem to be the case (otherwise MIB would be yet another part of the answer to the "cyclists don't have insurance" complaint). So no, I don't think a 'traditional' 4-8mph mobility scooter has anything to do with MIB.

Gosh, comment counts, remember them?

in: Do gravel bikes really benefit from suspension and dropper posts?

Is there a sweepstake at road.cc HQ, where the staff member who nominates the closest minute to the timestamp of the first “off-road feature on road.cc” comment to be posted wins the pot?
