Re: Life sentences

Gents - please let's keep this on topic and not descend into one on one arguments. Both points of view are understandable and stem from individuals' life experiences. They're just different. As you were ... Nick - I don’t think anyone’s descending into one on one arguments, and everything I’ve read...

Re: Life sentences

Rolyan, you live in a beautiful part of the country, cocooned from the realties out there in the real world, and by the way, I would love to have the address of that rose coloured glasses shop that you frequent. Actually you couldn’t be more wrong. I live in a northern inner city, voted recently as...

Re: Life sentences

"That rather bleak view" desevers some further discussion and whilst I recognise some of Martin’s arguments and agree with some of his sentiments I do feel that the “bad” greatly outweighs the “good” in society at large, take for example: - 1. Explosions, attacks in the street where vehic...

Re: Riding a bicycle without brakes

Has anyone advocated strict criminal liability for motorists involved in a collisions with pedestrians/ My understanding is that civil liability ought to be changed to improve safety. I don't find this particularly controversial. We were well into the 20th century before the law of negligence recog...

Re: Riding a bicycle without brakes

... but your comments remind me of the complete buffoon on the old IAM forum, who said that cyclists have zero responsibility in the event of a collision. Wasn't he called fZIX7cPmFYc He did have some extreme views and anyone in/on something with an engine was to blame/responsible. Having said that...

Re: Riding a bicycle without brakes

They are of all ages and abilities. If you mean that pedestrians shouldn't have to take all the responsibility, then you're correct. But if you mean that pedestrians shouldn't take any responsibility for their own safety, then you are the one talking utter guff. Keep in mind that some pedestrians s...

Re: Riding a bicycle without brakes

I disagree with all this guff about pedestrians needing to take responsibility for their own safety. Clearly pedestrians do not need a licence to be free to walk the streets: They are allowed to do so whether healthy or unwell, whether blind or deaf, under the influence of many legal drugs such as ...

Re: Number plate legalities

The irony is that though illegal those plates are capable of being machine read, and are far more likely to be remembered by any human witnesses than if they were legally spaced. Personally, I make value judgements about laws, and although my own number plates have always been legally spaced my res...

Re: Reg Local at Bristol IAM, 30 September 2017

You are all missing the point ... it is illegal. Wrong spacing as well as missing the makers info etc. You can not be selective about which bits of your vehicle are legal. At our meeting, 'Reg Local' discussed how there's a road near him with a 30mph limit opening up to an NSL. He was honest enough...

Re: HC Rule 130
