The law about motorcycle combinations and helmets.

Show me where my arguement is "dodgy" and I`ll agree with you!

 

Because you cannot cite a magistrates decision in defence

 

It was published in BSH and I even donated my fee to the NABD!

Unless anyone is suffering from insomnia of course!

 

Having seen a few with serious accessories it would be darned close
even now!

 

You need to look further than that. Dig into the protective helmet
regs where there is a further definition of a "motorbicycle". Where a
definition is contained in an act it takes precedent over any
definition contained within the "mother act"

 

That was my mistake posted by me when rather tired. I make more typo
errors than legal ones!

 

yup - I was knackered and made a typo - I offer my wholehearted
apologies and will take steps to install safeguards which will ensure
this sort of tragedy will not again occur in the future. Only by
admitting where the writer has failed to deliver the service required
can the public be expected have the trust in the service.

That do you?

 

No problem, I'm sure we all make them. But I was most impressed by how
some of your more loyal supporters will follow you blindly

I think you missed my meaning. Perhaps I should have added the 'unless
you want to be shown the station steps' clause ;-)

 

Of course you can cite a magistrates decision in defence. You can't
expect that the bench will follow the same line, since it sets no
precedent and they're entitled to ignore it if they choose, but you
can certainly draw their attention to how other magistrates around the
country are interpreting the legislation.

[ever so slightly unclear words about legal stuff]

Good grief, another load of public sector bullshit designed to cover up
crap service.

No

 

They only ever made a dozen or so, and I've never heard of anyone riding
one without a helmet, so I'd guess not.

 

"Hey! OIL!"

 

Oh to see the video tapes of the test interviews. I'm told media
training courses can be somewhat trying - one reason why I have
steadfastly refused to do the training. Oh and also having no desire
whatsoever to be on television or radio.

Will Sir be wearing his green uniform when interviewed by Mr Cant or
perhaps the famous Veggie Dave procured T Shirt?

Well that made me LOL! Not sure I agree but ... whatever.

 

Kewl! I wondered what had happened to him - one of my heroes...

 

Apparently its all about convincing people you are telling them the
whole truth whilst withholding most of it to prevent all your cards
going on the table at once. Having said that theres a few I`ve seen
who could do with more training - you feel like shouting "What a load
of bollocks" at the telly!

 

Any chance of a signed[1] photo of the two of you together?

;~)

[1] By you, obviously...

 

I`ll see what I can do....... You want clothed or unclothed?? ;-)

 

You could say that the midges taught me a lesson which the pheasant
bore-out to be true!

Of course it was the 'jap-crap' motor-cycle boom of the 80's which
probably brought about legislation requiring the wearing of protective
headgear, possibly because of increased accident rate.

Yesterday I viewed a video of a man being 'bounced-off'
two motor-vehicles after he stepped-into the roadway.
It did occur to me that he might have been better-off if he
was wearing a crash-helmet, it might possibly have helped
when his face smashed-into and scraped the Tarmac,but I'm
not sure it would have saved his life. The other drivers
appeared totally uninjured even though none were wearing
protective headgear!

Imagine that?
