    The offending is obvious. But this is ultra low level stuff. Enforcement of that is not practical. Throwing money at solving it will not attract a financial return. 

    It would if they starting handing out decent fines of £100+ each time. Police are quite happy to pull over a motorist to hand out a £100 speeding fine for someone driving at 33mph in a 30mph I know this because it happened to my mate not that long ago. 

    Ultra low level stuff, have a look at the videos Roger that I filmed only this afternoon, some of these idiots are pulling out in front of other vehicles after jumping a red light, all low level until one of these vehicles knocks over and kills or serious injures the cyclist and then guess who they will try to blame. This is potentially life changing stuff in reality.

  2. Has anyone noticed not only have poppies been removed from the figures on the seats in high town but some Bstrd has stolen the cap badge from the on by st Peter's church.

     

    Lets hope they have images of these scum on CCTV

  3. All of these photographs of these criminals were taken within half hour just this morning.

    The second cyclists narrowly missed the old chap here.

     

    Not one but two cyclists riding down the subway!

    Now we have two cyclists side by side on the footpath!

  4. I might get one of these to ride on the pavement :) I wonder if that is acceptable too? This is no different to an electric bike and there are loads of those around and they are becoming more and more popular.

    They would probably be all over you like a rash if you decided to ride one of these, one rule for one and one for another, maybe these are not seen to be GREEN enough.

  5. Old Bridge.jpg

    Drove over the Old Bridge earlier this evening we were on our way to grab a Chinese from the Mee Mei, this guy clipped the guy on the outside because he hurled a load of abuse at the cyclist as he went past.

    I turned around in the car park the other side of the bridge because there was no where to park on the left. I sat outside the Chinese in St Martins Street and spotted a cyclist coming along the road in my rear view mirror and I just knew he was going to IGNORE the red traffic lights. He rode up onto the footpath went straight past the traffic lights then went back down onto the road.

  7. Castle green for me. Much better than racecourse and a display by a championship winning fireworksmith- Julian gets my pennies.

    Minime is taking her LED sparklers too. Me I’ll be happy with Old Rosie and Beefyboys!! Safety first.

    Enjoy.

     

    Julian is a good mate of mine Nitecore Fireworks, I assume we are talking about the same Julian? 

  8. To those who believe that our freedoms are not being tightened and lost to us, ask yourselves this. Would a film such as The Life Of Brian, that mocked Christianity be made and distributed to the British public today, particularly if it was produced lampooning another religion?

     

    Probably not Bob.

     

    I see this article on Sky News today and Conor McGregor admits it was wrong to use homophobic slur, Freedom Of Speech is no more! He called someone a faggot, so what! The World has gone mad, people cant say bugger all these days without fear of some repercussion.

    There is nothing wrong in the latest picture, the pavement from penhaligon way to the crossing is shared use.

    This part of the pavement is shared space but the cyclists almost hit these people walking with the pushchair according to Alex and that was the point he was making. I have added a comment in brackets stating this is shared space.

    The rest of the photographs within this whole topic are of people riding on footpaths which are NOT designated for shared space ONLY pedestrians NOT cyclists.

    We want everyone to have an enjoyable and fun-filled Bonfire Night this year and are reminding people to stay safe and attend organised events where possible.
     
    Fireworks are widely used for celebrations such as Bonfire Night and New Year and can provide a spectacular show. However they can be dangerous if used incorrectly and anyone buying or lighting fireworks should follow the Fireworks Code:
     
    · Only buy fireworks marked BS 7114
    · Don't drink alcohol if you are setting off fireworks
    · Keep fireworks in a closed box
    · Follow the instructions carefully on each firework
    · Light at arms length, and always use a taper
    · Stand well back
    · Never go near a firework that has been lit. Even if it hasn't gone off, it could still explode
    · Never put fireworks in your pocket or throw them
    · Always supervise children around fireworks
    · Light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves
    · Never give sparklers to a child under five
    · Keep pets indoors
     
    Fireworks and the law
    We would also like to remind people to behave responsibly when using fireworks and ensure they know the law surrounding their use and purchase.
     
    · It is an offence to sell fireworks to any person under the age of 18
    · It is an offence for any person under the age of 18 to possess a firework.
    · It is an offence to possess any excessively loud category 3 or 4 (display style) firework
    · It is an offence to sell any firework (subject to certain exceptions) without a licence granted by the Fireworks Regulations 2004
    · It is an offence for any person to use a firework between the hours of 11pm and 7am. Bonfire night is extended to 12 midnight.
    · It is an offence to throw or fire a firework in or into any highway, street or public place.
     
    · It is an offence to make a bonfire or discharge a firework in a street to the obstruction, annoyance or danger of residents or passersby
     
    Breaking the law can result in a maximum penalty of £5000 and/or a prison sentence and police can also deal with offences with a Penalty Notice for Disorder (£80).
     

    Make your 5th of November a night to remember and follow the steps above to stay safe.

    I agree, if you re-read pretty much all my posts, I am not defending people like the chap in the picture, far from it, I think they deserve to be punished as I have said more than once. What I have tried to do though, is attempt to bring some balance to the discussion. Something that I think nobody wants, so I will take my leave and let everybody continue without my clearly unwanted contribution.

    Your taking it a little personal my friend, your contribution is totally valid! Everyone has different views and while I understand exactly where you are coming from however, I am sure you may have a different view if someone you knew was to get hurt by a cyclist riding on a footpath and not a dedicated cycle path or cycle/pedestrian pavement.

  12. This evenings criminal riding across the Victoria Bridge which is only just wide enough for pedestrians!

    The two girls in the photograph had to move to one side because the cyclist made no attempt to get off and walk. I told him that he should not be riding his bike across the bridge and he just smiled at me, said nothing and carried on.

    I don't see any other vehicles making him feel unsafe so whats his excuse?
