Then adjust your road position to give maximum visibility and adjust your speed to be able to stop before any obstructions. Long before going into the bend you already know what's behind you and how close they are so if you think by slowing down for the bend they will hit you, pull over and let them pass. In reality though if you need to slow down that much they will need to as well. And you can power out if the bend faster than they can.

FFS, will people just stop getting offended?? I come onto the forum for a bit of "pub banter" when I can't be in an actual pub having real life pub banter. If we have to start watching what we say and being mindful of the sensitive little snowflakes what's the point??

If saving for your first home, take a look at lifetime ISAs. Lifetime isa

I had the same bike as my first road bike! Black DT50MX Used to lean it right over and grind the sides of my trainers off! Haha

Only if they are fitted with all season or winter tyres (tires) One enraging thing - why in the UK nearly all tyres supplied as standard on cars are basically summer tyres? If I visit my brother in Germany under German law my tyres are illegal in winter so I have been trying for years to get all season tyres which only recently have started to become available. I don't want winter tyres as it means a full set of wheels and then having to store them. I've got two sets of tyres/wheels (Winter and summer) Winter tyres on my 4x4 Audi make it unstoppable! I drive about looking for snow covered hills to climb - great fun.

When you get pulled over, smile, make eye contact and shake their hand. They won't be expecting that... Works for me (most of the time)

If you're upright accelerating in a straight line then probably yes. It will cut the power to the rear wheel to prevent wheel spin until you pass over the oil and traction is resumed. If you're banked over in a bend and you hit oil, traction control won't prevent a slide... But it may prevent the wheel spinning up and continuing to slide after you've passed over the oil. I've had my traction control kick in a few times. Hard, fast overtakes on the dirty bit of the road can often result in a wheelspin which the traction control deals with without issues.

female teacher was it?

Depends how accident prone you are and how confident you are. A nervous accident prone person is probably safer starting off in a car.

How much would you like for it?

Yes because the manager knows there could well be alot of paperwork and a compensation claim headed his way so shut the situation down before it escalated. A no-win-no-fee legal shark would go to town on them for all kinds of health and safety breaches, may result in all petrol stations being shutdown until the cause of the fault was found and rectified and huge amount of negative press from the viral video. You can't have faulty petrol pumps and get away with it... Management was smart enough to know that

The catch is for people who's fingers get tired easily when they buy a very large amount of fuel . As far as I am aware all petrol pumps have them but I've never used one . The idea is to stick it in the car , squeeze the lever and engage the catch and then stand with your hands in your pockets until it cuts out automatically. After that I honestly have no idea what you do but hopefully someone will tell us . I presume you flick the catch off or maybe you squeeze the lever, I'm not sure now that I've thought about it . All have the capability, but every one I've seen in the UK has been disabled so it won't lock on. Which leads me to believe this is a faulty pump not user error.

I wouldn't have paid a penny. It's clear the pump was faulty and they were lucky not to have fire damage rather than a spillage to clean up.

Get the Haynes manual, buy some tools, and give it a go! Its all part of the biking learning process. Its important for bikers to know their bikes well and fixing them up is a great way to learn.

Don't say it.. Don't say it.. Don't say it.. Don't say it.. Nice helmet ohh err!!

Yep, seriously considering leaving the country.. sell everything and just bugger off somewhere sunny!!

JB weld/Chemical metal would sort those holes out. Fill them up and drill them out. Easy.

Sorry Joe, sounds like bollocks to me. A trick? The guy says it, and takes a step back. The officer disregards this and steps forward. Like I said, both look like utter twats by the end of it. I've played with enough helmet cameras to know they give a distorted view of the world. They often make it appear like you're right on someones back bumper when infact youre a good distance away. There was nothing that police officer could have said to prevent the Cyclists being defensive, rude and arrogant. The Cyclist had already made up his mind to be an idiot before the officer opened his mouth. Clearly a very disturbed individual with massive insecurities and probably an inferiority complex which causes him to lash out at people in professional positions... The head mistress was great, shes used to dealing with stroppy children which is exactly how he was behaving.

He's not close at all. Its a camera trick. The masked Cyclist probably knows this which is why he deliberately draws attention to the distance. I actually wonder if the sound has been dubbed. Did the Cyclist really say all of that to the copper or has the audio been added on after to cause more controversy...

Or more commonly now is just simply a twat Seems to be a trend now of people that have nothing to hide and not doing anything wrong want to goad an argument especially to record and show how they are fighting for their freedom and have got one up on the police state authority's. I wonder if it gives them a warm fuzzy feeling at night. Would love to put him in a situation where he needed the help of the police, watch how polite he would be to the attending officer, then send the same copper from the video in to take over... Get that on camera and we'd all get a warm fuzzy feeling.

Exactly. Whereas the Cyclists guy is disrespectful and cocky from the moment he sees the police officer. He clearly has issues with authority and women so uses his powers of shoutyness to fight them. I bet he either has a criminal record already or has something to hide. No other reason to get that defensive.

The world is full of ifs and busts, the little shit shouldn't have been in that position in the first place, he paid the price of the decisions he took, if he had been left to carry on and taken our a family at a bus stop no doubt the officer would have been in the wrong then. Your asking officers to look back at decisions retrospectively it's an impossible task, ohhh no I'm ending pursuit cause I'm 7miles over my allowance, no licence, failing to stop, speeding, Un insured, drugs in system I have no sympathy. Sorry but that isn’t the case, as much as you want it to be. Sensationalising it doesn’t change the fact that the officer acted outside of what he was permitted to do in addition to failings that may have ended the chase. They know what they are and aren’t allowed to do. As a result the family are awarded damages. I don’t believe the officer has faced charges or been reprimanded. Seems the small outcome matches the small mistake by the police. “He chose to speed off, not to stop and to continue to drive as he did,” she said. “It also has to be remembered that he only held a provisional licence, did not wear a seat belt, and had traces of cocaine in his system.” But she ruled that Mrs Seddon and Ms Morgan — who was carrying her partner’s child at the time — were owed compensation due to the police force being “in breach of its operational duty”. The judge said the pursuing police driver was only trained for “standard responses”, and was not authorised to go more than 20mph above the speed limit but went as fast as 95mph during the pursuit. She ruled that the officer “failed to perform at the level required”, including failing to pass on key information to his control room which might have ended the chase. The judge also criticised another police driver who positioned his almost-stationary car in the nearside lane of the A33. “No one knew the vehicle was there so the control room could not factor in its presence when considering whether the pursuit should be continued,” said the judge. She found that the positioning of the police car was “foreseeably dangerous”, and there was “a realistic prospect” the fatal crash would have been avoided if it had not been there. When you read that, I find it hard to get annoyed at the outcome. Yes he was a twat, yes he killed himself and yes the Police dropped the ball. Ok so where do you draw the line?? Police aren't allowed to enter private property without permission, but they regularly do to catch criminals. Sign says "don't walk on the grass" so the police have to stay on the path as the criminals run away across the grass... If the police have to abide by the same rules as everyone else, then all a criminal has to do to evade capture is do something that an ordinary member of the public is not allowed to do. That's a stupid situation to be in.

Since when did we have to use TOR to access the forum? The dark web is coming...

The police have now been put into an impossible situation. It is wrong to approve the tactic and then charge someone with doing that very same tactic. If the charge related to a cop who had rammed a slow moped at 60 mph and then repeatedly driven over the youth, then I would understand a charge. But that did not happen. As Joe85 pointed out, the officer concerned had not been sufficiently trained / tested to go over 20mph above the speed limit, and over stepped the mark. All of us have to stick to rules in our working life and there can be dire consequences if we don’t, including the police. Don’t get me wrong. I have no sympathy for the skag involved, and the paltry size of the compensation is probably due to the officer acting outside of the law in the pursuit rather than the consequences of the actual stop. If the officer had been trained to perform this tactic then it wouldn’t have been an issue. Its a joke. The officer didn't force the criminal to drive at speed and attempt to evade the police. The lack of police training didn't contribute to the accident, the criminal would have taken exactly the same risks to evade a trained officer as he did an untrained officer. As for the idiot Cyclist. He needs a good kicking from the other parents. He's an angry bully who shouts at women and clearly has issues with the police as he's on the defensive as soon as the policeman arrives. He also seems to have read just enough "legal advice" to know how to cause the officer problems. He probably doesn't this on a regular basis. I feel sorry for the child who clearly has a bully for a father and who's been shown that it's acceptable to ignore authority and to bully women like the headmistress. Poor kid... The police officer is very restrained. The whole situation could have been avoided if the Cyclist hadn't gone on the defensive! He's got issues or someone to hide, or both

Or is it just that even the judges are scared to do the right thing if there is no president. Some one makes a complaint or appeal and in todays world it must be investigated. Your dog bites Burgler (with hammer and crowbar and mask on face). in your unlocked back yard. Who's fault is it? Once upon a time the Burgler would not complain as he would of been fitted up for last 3 burglaries in area. Now your poor dog is on death Row. Some one give the police some respect, if this is how they are treated and people act outside a school. https://youtu.be/08j-e6hc3Vc This country is a sad place.
