Re: Crash! Bang! Wallop!
With regard to the pictures of the cars being ticketed for illegal parking, while I in no way condone it, around my way, the Liebour-run councils have steadfastly refused to re-open the car parks. Two wrongs don't make a right, but if central Government say the parks can open, then surely the councils are obliged to open them?

Re: Crash! Bang! Wallop!
I will probably sound like a twat saying this, but the two bikers the fuzz want to disqualify didn't look to be doing anything too dangerous in that clip. What looks dodgy from a car driver's p.o.v. can be fairly safe on a fast bike. Unless you're shite and can't go round corners obvs.

Re: Crash! Bang! Wallop!
I agree the clip makes it look not too bad. However knowing the road I know that the double whites are in places you can't see far enough to overtake safely in almost every circumstance. Unlike a lot of roads where they are put in to piss you off & prevent anyone making progress.Drum wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 7:56 pm I will probably sound like a twat saying this, but the two bikers the fuzz want to disqualify didn't look to be doing anything too dangerous in that clip.

See or no see.
Crossing or straddling solid white lines like that is verboten.

If it's just paint I'm game. However I'm no going to cry into my pint if I get collared.
