I don't think theres a law on seats is there? But yeah, basically you can get done for everything no matter how hard you try riding on the pavement, riding without lights, reflectors and bell. If you have lights most coppers overlook reflectors so thats them ticked off. Noone seems to give a toss about helmets, bells etc, at least i've never been bothered about 'em. One more point for everyone to note if you're planning on getting 'smart' with a copper - If you are riding on the footpath without lights and mr plod comes up and threatens to fine you for not having lights, dont get snotty saying 'well im on the path so i dont need them' because the law states that it is an offence to cycle on the highway without lights etc, and a footpath is adopted as a part of the highway. Road is carriageway, pavement is footway, and the whole lot that is adopted by the council is highway as everything is adopted under the same part of the highways act. [/Geeky highways junk] As for helmets i'm the opposite to Mark, I get scared of riding BMX because pedalling like hell at something scares me more than slowly hopping about on something.

No, cycling on the footpath is also an offence under the road traffic/highways act or whatever one it is. If you're outside a shop front (and not on public highway) then they can't do you for either. As for 'extra wide pavements' that depends on where it is really as to whether it would actually be a wide pavement or for exampe a 2m pavement then a load of privately owned tarmac beyond that. Generally the local council would adopt as highway - the road, and a 1.8 or 2m footpath or verge. Anything beyond that would probably be privately owned, so a stairset, wall, parking outside or next to a shop etc is probably owned by the shop, therefore they can't prosecute you under road traffic law. Councils don't freely adopt anything in sight up to the front step of a shop, it's a- not their responsibility to maintain the areas serving shops, and b- its maintenance costs they dont want. Pedestrianised town centres are confusing though, i don't know what theyre classed as, but most have no cycling rules anyway so you cant win there. Best to weigh it up though because if you're trashing walls and start getting cocky about traffic law then they'll whack criminal damage on you instead. Knowledge is power, especially when you can put one over on some incompetent PCSO Feel free to PM me if you want any more info.

A few points- 1. Use of a helmet is not legally enforcable, bikes are relatively 'safe' in that they are low speed. Yes, as a road user you could get hit by a car and may well need a helmet, but so could a pedestrian. 2. Clipping lights to your jeans could still land you a fine/prosecution as the wording of the law states that your bike, not your backside, should be fitted with a light. 3. Other than the woman not being able to enforce wearing lid, she was probably going on the lines of if you have lights you won't get squashed and need a helmet. 4. If you're on a pedestrianised area, shop front, whatever it is that is not a public road, footpath or right of way, she can't do jack anyway as it's the Road Traffic Act i believe that states the rules on lights, reflectors, bells etc. So if you're not on an adopted road then it doesn't apply. Info regarding the extent of highway in your favourite riding spots can be had from the local council thanks to the ever-so-wonderful FOI act. Edit: A cycle path is adopted under the highways act so rules on lights and bells etc still count.

Search on some focus owners club forums, probably a common question, and with some cars the preceeding digits in the engine/chassis number can give away details about the car like that. Also the V5 may state it if youre lucky.

If you prefer sitting indoors - Landscape Architecture?

Don's just the start, autocomplete would fill in ther est of whatever it was... I just hope its not donkey related.

I read it as being 'thank you for emailing to point out the error'.

Hahaha thats quality! Trials though? Fools!

Hours: Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Sat: 9am-12pm Sorry i was looking at that, didnt notice the 12pm. Technically, i was still correct though

http://www.chrisknott.co.uk/ Even open saturdays! I was well impressed, i had one quote on my astraa turbo that beat the others by about £600, then CK beat it again by another £40 then chucked in some freebies like windscreen cover and legal cover.

Registering it to a different address? Thats even worse! Ring Chris Knott Insurance, you dont get some goon giving you a computer read out, they can actually make it cheaper for you instead of giving you bullshit.

For example if you have a full time job and crash on the way to work, theyll query in great depth why you were driving it.

Just phone them and they'd tell you... And is his van for work or is it his main vehicle? IE are you going to be the main user contrary to whats on the policy?

Just remembered, i got a couple of tickets to go see Crusty Demons FMX show in Birmingham too.

Thats all well and good if you watch them all in a row but if you watch it when it comes out in the cinema you won't really know. It is however good at making you watch the second and third ones upon release, i'll give 'em that.

Yeah i'd kinda picked up on the fact that they missed out the main reason Bourne exists amongst other things! I had trouble watching the film indepently from the story set out in the books, and in any case i feel the films abit jumpy and doesnt necessarily explain many things too well.

Hopefully the bourne ultimatum isnt as much of a dissapointment compared to the book as the bourne identity was (only one i've watched so far).

You got a mum and dad?

Canon EOS400D (combined xmas/21st bday present) Case, UV filter, 2gb CF card The bourne trilogy DVD and the last of the three Robert Ludlum books. Shirts, boxers, slippers, scarf etc.. Bottle of Amaretto LED Lenser torches. Choccies and random bits and bobs.

Ive waited longer than thaty for appointments that i've booked! Jammy git!

Id definitely go Joe, atleast to get it checked out. Your eyesights one thing you don't wanna f**k with, especially as you kinda need to see to take photos!
