Children riding bikes on pavements

[GreenGui]

Is that for real?

 

 

Wouldn't be surprised if it though!

 

Its done the rounds on a lot of sites now. I don't know if its real or not but for me it sums up the contempt they have for us, the people.

Hard working and honest, the lot of them aren't they?

[Bob The Dog]

Let's not knock plod too much eh. On the whole, I think the majority are decent and try to do a good job. What may be nothing to one person could well be a big deal to another. They deal with what they are sent to or come across, so saying they should be concentrating on more important issues is nonsense. They get it in the neck for ignoring things, and then get it in the neck for dealing with things. It's a no win situation. Sure, some could handle situations a little better, but that's true for every walk of life. Imagine this country without the police service we currently have. It would be an awful place. Anarchy would rule. Perhaps if the pavement was that busy, the girls father should've stopped her from riding? Typical of the current climate - parents taking no control and police getting the blame. Discipline should start at home, and not be left to others to sort out.

Are Wheelchairs and powered mobility scooters allowed on pavements.

[Bob The Dog]

As I understand, wheelchairs are, and so are some mobility scooters. The latter are given two categories. One which can go on the pavement, and the other which is road legal. Not sure what differences there are though. Speed I would imagine!

[Mortimer Firewood]

No elderly and disabled must use the road wtf are you for real

[harvey b davison]

ive been hit and abused by more oaps' riding them mobility scooters, than i ever have by a young child on a bike. Kids up to the age of about 8 should be on the pavement imo. Mobility scooters are a pain regardless of where they are.

The police were idiots in this case, absolute clowns.

 

What they did represents just how far Britain has come in the last 50 years, all of it downhill.

 

The sheer stupidity of their pathetic actions against the kid and her father beggars belief.

 

TimberCutterDartmoor, you're posts in this thread are a disgrace. Honestly Jon, you;ve lost the plot and turned from a relatively decent bloke into some kind of demented fascist hell bent on a police state where it's the norm for braindead coppers to harass 4 year old kids on their way to school.

 

get a grip of yourself.

Actually I said a) the law is the law and in this case it needs changed and b) the policeman should have reminded the parent, not intimidated the child.

 

I am huge believer in the rule of law; lawlessness is a very dangerous slippery slope. But a "1984"? No thanks.

 

You can agree to disagree a bit more agreeably I reckon!
