    another bloody rant

    Well in respect of Cambridgeshire I cant comment, But I do recall visiting West Bar garages in Shefffield a few years back, and all very interesting. Yes there were the quick cars for whatever operational requirements seen fit , and a boat load of part exchanges from garages on loan to target...

    another bloody rant

    The fact is a sales rep gets nowhere the government, all deals are done direct with the manufacturer often on a buyback lease which means that the cost to you as ratepayers is far less than you are perceiving. Supplying the Police etc is seen by manufaturers as a coveted opportunity for...

    a typical example of the poor attitude towards cyclists

    Some interesting comments and something I have thought about for a long time. The thread title uses attitude, and you use the term How do I cope ? And that seems to be the basic problem of all road users irrespective of what is their chosen mode of transport. When I drive my motor...

    a typical example of the poor attitude towards cyclists

    Interestingly today I have been approached by an individual on a Due care and attention charge. He is pleading guilty to the charge and everything is quite straightforward until I read the statements. The Police are suggesting that he was attempting to induce another car to race....This is...

    a typical example of the poor attitude towards cyclists

    I must admit my own thoughts pretty much echo Neils. Part of being a responsible road user in the grand scale is understanding all parts of the community carstrucks and cyclists have a rogue element and believe the law doesnt apply to them. How many times do you see a mature cyclist jump...

    Another time trialer killed, has justice prevailed?

    Courts are often reluctant to convict on Intent alone, It needs to be accompanied by sufficient actions (actus reus) On this occasion there were sufficient actions that a conviction was successful, The bone of contention is perhaps the sentence, without knowing the history of the defendant it...

    Another time trialer killed, has justice prevailed?

    Forgive a pedant moment, but the CPS dont proceed with a case because they dont see a successful conviction. The result being no charges are layed. or they proceed with a charge ( or couple of charges) in the belief they will gain a successful conviction. The only people that can...

    Another time trialer killed, has justice prevailed?

    I agree with you sentencing needs to be a balance of punishment,deterrent and rehabilitation. In terms of increasing points, It wouldnt surprise me if that doesnt happen. You wont see an increase in a mandatory fine though. remember the £60 is the maximum discounted tarriff for pleading...

    My Carlton ( model still unknown)

    Here is a couple of pics of my Carlton which I have not ridden for perhaps three years due to living abroad. At the time Iwas into mountain biking, and I bought her to keep fit during the week for an hour or so after work. She is serial no WH0000314. Other than built in June I believe...

    The quick way to making a presta your friend ?

    I have got the bug again and rather than sell my Carlton have decided to enjoy it instead. I have a bike pump, specific adapter for presta valves which are fitted. Bikes I have in the past have always been Schraeder. I am unlocking the the valve and pumping in air, but because of the...

    of Topic!

    Far more informative than my answer thank you. My motive was quite simple, rather than ???? from a previous poster, it is perhaps important we actually take the time and trouble to assist visitors to our shores, and a fellow cyclist. perhaps now we are collectively answering a question and...
