This has been an interesting thread, worthy of some thought.
I've come to the conclusion that it would be safer for a driver to drive a car on the pavement as that way there would be a greatly reduced risk of the driver being injured in collisions with other cars and HGVs, etc. I mean, fuck the other pavement users - right?
So Dave oh wise one off the pavements and roads what’s your opinion on the mobility scooters. Some off them are quite fast nowadays should they be on road or pavement.
It depends on the class of mobility scooter. Class 2 has a max speed of 4mph and is pavement only. Class 3 can be up to 8mph and can be road or pavement - although if you're on the pavement you shouldn't go faster than 4mph. Anything that can go over 8mph is road only.

Seriously 800 dying a year against someone having to move aside.would you seriously make you child ride on a road. I’ve never seen a child riding a e scooter on a road but according to some they should and they should die.
If you kid was going to ride his bike would you say make sure you ride on the road.
How come we’ve got all these old train lines routes where cyclist and walkers use together if it’s so dangerous.
I’ve stopped walking on the tow path along Regent’s canal due to the number of cyclists. Its okay when the cyclist are coming towards but as you can’t hear cyclists, its always a shocker when they come from behind (oooahh matron). 🤓

Children are not required to cycle on the road.
Nope same for children as adults except children under 10 have no criminal liability.
“ children under the age of 10 are below the age of criminal responsibility. Therefore, they cannot be prosecuted for a criminal offence. They cannot be issued with a fixed penalty notice either as they cannot be given to anyone under the age of 16.
This means that, whilst police officers can theoretically stop young children (aged under 10) who are cycling on pavements, they have no powers to arrest, fine or even caution them.”

Why do you say ‘having’ to move aside rather than the cyclist dismounting and waiting?

I don't dislike cyclists, just I dislike having to make way for cyclists when I am walking along the pavement. If a cyclist came across an adult walking a couple of toddlers along the pavement whilst holding their hands, wouldn't a cyclist wait rather than force the adult to wrangle the toddlers out of the way? They may also have a dog on a lead.
What about people riding horses do they dismount and let you past.
For some people they just hate cyclists for some reason. Dave’s already said cyclists should be chucked under buses Really can’t understand some people what do you want stu everybody that has rode on a pavement locked up I think you’d find there wouldn’t be many people free.
Should the criminals not have the respect to not inconvenience law abiding citizens?
And no, I don’t think people should be locked up, but fined absolutely
Nice of you to show up Dave knob head I owed you one. So all kids riding there bikes on pavements should be kicked under a bus.according to Dave nice one.
Wrong again I’m afraid
“Any adult cyclist or scooter rider that goes on the pavement should be kicked in front of a bus, the pavement is for pedestrians.”

Respect you say.
I would suggest if adult cyclists had any Respect for walkers they would not cycle on the pavement.
Cyclists are about level pegging with nonce's on people I'd like the police to nick most list. Especially the ones who go out on a Sunday and ride 3 a breast down country lanes. The death penalty needs reintroducing for those reprobates.

Afternoon SMTW2GH
Been too busy today to play unfortunately!
Get it right ffs, I actually said the ones using the pavement should kicked in front of busses
All very well to kick pavement cyclists under buses in urban areas where there is likely to be decent bus services, hence plenty of buses. But what should you do in more out of town or rural areas where bus services are limited or non-existent? Perhaps we should include HGV and LGVs in the list of acceptable vehicles cyclists may be thrown under? Surprised that runners haven't been mentioned yet as pavement undesirables. Runners, imo, top trump cyclists as self entitled cnuts in the hierarchy of selfish pavement users. Go to any Park Run on a Saturday to watch hundreds of the b'stards mowing down young children out riding their small bikes. What gives them the right to take over these public spaces? And without paying towards the upkeep of the park. "I'm a fitness wunker training for my next marathon. Get out of my way!"

You're welcome.
Who comes off worse in a collision between an Elephant and a Hamster.
Can't wait to see the results.

Vehicle tax, registration and insurance
Mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs in ‘class 3’ or not in a class must be registered with DVLA.
You do not need to pay vehicle tax if your vehicle is registered with DVLA as a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair.
You may also need to insure your mobility scooter or powered wheelchair, depending on its weight.

Hope that helps.

Continually making stuff up isn’t a good look.
They should up for indecency if they did that!!!
Thought they were all pretty pedestrian Tuesday night!
