johnofwessex Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I was overtaken, on a bend with double white lines in a 40 limit tonight. I then saw the tail lights go all over the place as the driver lost control. Most disappointing to see them straighten up and carry on............ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnofwessex Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-67380021 Now what I fail to understand is why is it legal to sell any vehicle that isnt 'road legal' in the UK? I note that there was at least one Private Members Bill that would have required all motorbikes and quad bikes sold in the UK to be registered at the point of sale and existing vehicles to be registered and carry a number plate however as usual it was stopped by The Government 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isn't a lack of suitable laws, it's the ability to enforce them. There are legitimate off-road uses for such things. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
