lethal� bikes without front brakes.

"convicted of wanton and furious driving" - so a law already exists.

You felt someone wanted to hear more of your usual sociopathic bull****,
Birdbrain?

Sociopath Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) sociopathic
understanding of the law:
"It is not illegal to have no brake on your bicycle. There are no rules
governing bicycle state of repair. I rode a bike with no brakes at all for
a year once, I just used my feet to stop, until I realised I was getting
through shoes rather quickly."

I think most people accept that wanton and furious driving is a stupid
law, certainly stupidly named at least, and it would be better to
have/use appropriate modern laws.

That's silly - there are already perfectly adequate construction and use
regulations governing mechanical requirements. Also I'm not aware of
any problems caused by the use of the Offences Against the Person Act
WRT the injuries caused - it's the go-to legislation when dealing with
offences involving road vehicles that are not motor vehicles, and as
relevant today as it was when we were riding around in horse drawn
carriages. The problem is not lack of relevant laws, but low levels of
enforcement of those laws, combined with ignorance on the part of many
road users, both those on bicycles and those interacting with them.

Amen to that last bit: on LBC yesterday a caller said that he had been
stopped by the Police for riding on a footway, he claimed that he told
the Policeman that it was OK as there no yellow lines, and apparently
the Policeman said he did not know that and let him carry on.

The most ignorant people on the roads are pedestrians. Roads are for
vehicles. Look both ways before crossing ffs!

You will have read this many times.
You are a prick.
Go get a job, a life and a woman Hucker.
Btw, Nat said that you stank.

Who cares what law is used? Why do we need countless laws for the same
thing? If you kill someone by doing something dangerous, does it matter
if it was a car, bicycle, mower, hedge trimmer, axe, biro, whatever?

Well peeped again, Birdbrain! BG

Sociopath Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) about his use of the
pronoun "its":
"I use "it's". The thing belongs to it. Giraffe's. Mr Smith's. The
car's. It's. Just because the it isn't specified absolutely, doesn't mean
there shouldn't be a possessive apostrophe. The English language is
evolving, get used to it."

Do that yourself, I've seen your wife.

Heed his advice and stop being a ridiculous ******, Hucker!

Btw, Nat said that you stank.

Nat lives in a council house with 4 kids, living on benefits scrounging
off your taxes. Her and her husband have never worked in their entire
life (except "cash in hand"), claiming 1.5K a month in benefits, tax
free. She is everything you hate.

So you don't deny that you STINK, like a true ****** does, Birdbrain? Are
you still wearing no underwear and wiping your ****-smeared arse in the
grass, sociopath?
