I dont get! At all! :? Why?

Heard this on the radio earlier, it's just going to put more slow **** in front of me that's going to piss me off no end.

So "the plague" is also moving to UK man these things are a pest they are slow and you don't need a drivers license for them but the can drive it anywhere on the road except for highways so if you got a road with 70 KM/H limit that thing will not go faster then 45KM/H so you are stuck behind it ....

seriously they should BAN those things if you cannot get a license to drive a car A) you are stupid B) your eye sight is terrible C) you got certain handicap which it is not safe to drive a motor powered vehicle , instead they made those crappy things which you pay allot of money for and you can drive it legaly without a license allot of old ppl buy them here cause they probably wont get a license anymore cause they are to old to know the new rules and get past that theoretical exam to obtain your license

An old lady can't get it's driver license anymore => buy's this and can drive anyway!

 

[DrDrew]

I really don't like the idea of these. Although I expect insurance for someone without a license to drive one will be massively expensive, so should keep them at bay.

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

If they allow these then they can shut the hell up about young drivers crashing! Someone with no roadsence whatsoever without a license.. Driving on the road, going extra slow.. Just pure taking the piss?

They say it doesnt go faster than 28mph, but have you ever tried cornering at 28? Surely most crashes happen because they are cornering to fast.. So this totaly defeats the point of it being slow..

It's bad enough there's mopeds on the roads anyway let alone these things. However at 10k I don't think many 16 year olds will be having one unless mummy and daddy sponsor them

So how does it fair with banned drivers? Same principle?

[Jjay]

But then how is that so, because if anyone can use these with no license what's the difference? It's gonna throw up a whole load of crap about things! I think it's obsurd tbh! Who on earth thinks of these things and thinks its okay? What a joke. Lol!

Is it just a thing of disengaging the reverse gear?

the only vehicle on the planet which have been clocked, to make it look like its been further than it has.

Surely it can't have done nearly 12k :shock:

 

[weebob]

Look at the 2001 one. Can you imagine doing 54k in that
