My guess is that it's restricted to conform to whatever local legislation it was made for. I suspect it's a Class 3 system

Re: What else did 'education' put you off?
Religion Religious Education was the most boring, un-enlightening subject EVER. I learned far more about sex during Biology classes. I learned far more about Islam etc etc from talking to people from those faiths than I ever did during classes. Nothing in any lesson inspired me to find out more abou...

Well, who knows where it was made, what with plate tectonics and all that.

Re: John Humpheys
If a cyclist is pootling along at 5mph and a lorry wing mirror, doing 40 mph, hits the back of the cyclists head what's the impact velocity? If a cyclist flies through the air and head buts the kerb after hitting a car that's pulled out in front of them when they're doing 10 mph what's the chance of...

Re: Cadence
I'm coming back from a badly broken leg and during test rides on prospective bikes I found that a nagging pain was purely due to me badly positioning my feet on the pedals, along with arbitrary saddle alignment. So, first, I'd recommend getting cleat type shoes and have them fitted properly - either...

Jesus - life's too short. Wear one, don't wear one - you have a choice. But spend time cycling instead of raking over tired old arguments.

Re: RLJ > Straight to summons
Go to the local nick and ask them? They should have it down as I think the officer has to finish the paperwork by the end of their shift? At least they'll be able to tell you the procedure.
