✔️ The youngest drink driver was aged 14
✔️ The oldest drink driver was 95
✔️ The highest alcohol level detected was nine times over the legal limit for fully licensed drivers

Is it any wonder that the Director of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety is a retired coroner?

Remember to wear your plastic hats and hi viz, folks: it's up to you to "be seen."

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cyclingelectric/116884586847549191

#Police definitely need better education and #testing procedures when checking #ebikes and this is quite a blunder on their part - but as an early adopter of e-bikes (from 18 years ago) I feel UK traffic authorities, #cyclling industry (and even the cycling community) sat on their arses and did nothing when they were harder to obtain premium priced items, less common on streets and even the faster ones were in the hands of middle class older white guys.

Now various bikes including those pushing boundaries of what is legal on the roads, and some which *are* blatantly illegal are affordable to food delivery riders (and general "roadman" lads who might be up to no good), and more folk from ethnic minorities there's a moral panic about these machines (on top of valid #RoadSafety concerns)
