I was reading in the Daily Wail today that the EU are thinking of forcing car driver to have equipment in their cars that will force them to adhere to speed limits. You hit a 30 and your car brakes, etc. Unfortunately, we all know the Daily Wail (Hurrah for the Blackshirts and all that), but we can live in hope. The funny thing is that this will also (presumably) apply to 20 zones, a speed that even old gits like me can far exceed. So, with any luck we will soon be in a world where motorists are being forced to stick to 20 while cyclists speed past them. We can only hope. |

Unfortunately compliance is either 0% or close to 0%; I cannot cycle that slowly without falling off. |

Unfortunately compliance is either 0% or close to 0%; I cannot cycle that slowly without falling off. Why would anyone need to ride a bicycle in a car-park? There is a good case for banning all traffic - even pedestrian traffic - in all car-parks unless there in direct connection with parking a particular vehicle or with the management and administration of the facility. It would make the control of property crime simpler than it is, because an unauthorised person would be automatically guilty of an offence unless an occupant of a vehicle in the car-park. |

Therefore you are unable to control your vehicle and should push it instead. Or stop riding through car parks. |

What "cycle park"? There is a good case for banning all traffic - even pedestrian traffic - in all car-parks unless there in direct connection with parking a particular vehicle or with the management and administration of the facility. Are you insane? See below. It would make the control of property crime simpler than it is, because an unauthorised person would be automatically guilty of an offence unless an occupant of a vehicle in the car-park. Are you against the prevention of crime and vandalism in general, or only in car-parks? |
