Re: E-Scooters are Coming !

Cycling on footpaths is simply IGNORED by the Police here and it's a real hazard. I also killed someone going into my drive one night - he was hurtling along the pavement with no lights - and there's no streetlighting when I live.

Re: E-Scooters are Coming !

Technically I believe even the use of "foot-powered" scooters is banned on UK pavements. It appears the law is confused: https://swiftyscooters.com/blogs/journal/is-riding-a-kick-scooter-on-the-pavement-legal-in-the-uk To my mind unpowered scootering and cycling should either be permitted ...

Re: Problems changing into second gear.

Welcome to this forum. NINE TIMES !?!?!?!?! Wow (says he who passed six various driving tests first time!) Looks like a good price If you're at all uncertain about it report it to Cargiant immediately - even if only to get it on record that it happened. Preferably demonstrate it to them, and get the...
