How the hell did they know
How the hell did they know the passengers are cyclists as opposed to walkers or drivers who did not fancy taking the car. Or drivers who could not get to the main road from their abode?Hirsute

No doubt she never takes her horse on the road. I think it should be illegal to take a horse on a road and there should be complusory bridlewaysHirsute

No, you didn’t mention IT at all or that it was lowly.

One of my friends years ago
One of my friends years ago was running in town (I think he was on his way back from the park) and was approached by police due to a nearby robbery.
“Can I have your name sir?”
“Yes, it’s Dr Owen.”
“Right you are sir”Hirsute

It always made me laugh how many junior departmental admin staff had PHDs in shitty subjects like botany and insisted on using the title Dr.
What’s your highest qualification?
What subjects are in this ‘shitty’ list?

When I read this, I was in a
When I read this, I was in a country pub and had a quick read.
On leaving the pub car park, I pulled up at the exit to find 3 drivers from my left all ignoring the new 20 mph sign, on the wrong side (due to parked cars) of the narrow road, ignoring the junction ahead (danger of drivers pulling out with reduced visibility) where there were lots of cars parked in and around the junction. They carried on in excess of 30 mph I’d say.
I don’t think any of them were thinking of other vehicles (as suggested in the link) or displayed any hazard perception.

In the UK, you have to be a local authority or police or dvla.Xenophon2 wrote:Out of curiosity: from what stage can they decide to remove a vehicle or put a clamp/lock on it? In Belgium police have to order that, not the rent-a-cops.But they do on occasion remove bicycles that are obstructing e.g. a sidewalk. When you get there, all there is, is a sticker on the ground stating ‘Bicycle removed on police order, phone…..’. And you only get it back after paying a handsome ransom (and being able to describe the bike or prove ownership).
Some London boroughs will remove vehicles which are causing an obstruction.
The dval will clamp and remove vehicles for non payment of ved.
Police will remove vehicles with no insurance.

I assumed the mods caught up with him starting up as a new user. I think I mentioned before that one of your posts about cibm/btbs had disappeared. No idea which topic now though !January 13, 2020 at 9:56 pm in reply to: If you thought sentencing for drivers who harm cyclists was uniquely bad… #954681Hirsute

You know, from the thread on the live blog, just like locking up your bike isn’t it.
