    The wife and were just sat in costa enjoying a nice cut of coffee when past the window, in a pedestrian area an old man was doing at least 60 came wizing past shocking everyone in the cafe. Five minutes later and he comes back at a similar speed, now I would suggest that he had very little control and certainly wouldn't stop quickly.

    These machines are a menace and should be licences and be subject to a public area speed limit. And if they can't walk why do they all wear training shoes?

    Yeah they should replace road speed cameras for pavement speed cameras for those idiots, make reg plates and tests compulsory for them too and set them at 5mph max :D

    See I find this interesting as I watched a cop show the
    Other night and they pulled over a lad on the path with an
    Electric scooter. They took it off him and said that it had
    To be rode on the road not the path and then if it was on
    The Road it needed insurance.so how do these pain in
    The ass scooters get away with it.

    Well it's easy, isn't it?

    What police officer, council official, magistrate or judge wants ti leave themselves open to media and minority group castration by crossing a 'minority' group. Especially the differently abled.

    A couple of lads tear arsing about on one is completely different in the eyes of the bleeding hearts. That constitutes a public menace in their eyes.

    It's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil. If it's prone to squeaking it'll get public funded ambergris bought in specifically.

    Sadly no, because we generate to much revenue!

    I'm afraid you might be in the position of taking the term 'minority group' literally Simon. If your demographic doesn't instill the fear of litigation into the populace you fall into the category of 'pressure group', a media term meaning nutters and as such having nothing but novelty value in the eyes of the media. Hence all the huge MAG runs getting the 'and finally' slot in the news and the shaking head bemused smiles of the anchormen as if they were and unusually large flock of Starlings film over the Somerset levels.
