I'm afraid that 'annoyance' is one of those legal terms: "whether a hypothetical reasonable person would be annoyed or otherwise aggrieved". You're probably not hypothetical enough.

emesde Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 8 minutes ago, Two-lane said: Is this really the law? That cyclists are prohibited from doing anything that annoys me? in Dec 2021 the then minister said DoI Minister Tim Crookall has said that ‘cyclists are not permitted on pavements except those that are cycleways, shared spaces or prescribed pavements’. Mr Crookall was responding to a question from Speaker Juan Watterson who asked if whether speed limits apply to cyclists on pavements and shared spaces. ‘Speed limits in general do not apply to cyclists as they are not classed as motor vehicles; however, cyclists travelling at excessive speeds may be found guilty of other offences such as “dangerous cycling” or ‘careless and inconsiderate cycling”,’ The Minister added.

They think it’s their duty and mandatory, to annoy ( and endanger) all other road users. They take great pride in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 What is the legal take on cyclist's wearing head phones/in ear phones whilst riding. I know in the some states in the good old USA its a misdemeanor, as they can not hear the 18 wheeler coming or the law inforcement officer shouting at them. And is an immediate fine.

ADELE Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I have just got a DOI survey too I wonder how much this little lot is costing? and the processing will be another little jobby for a few CS guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Is Professor Ashford coveting the role currently occupied by under fire Minister Thomas? Todays NPM is reporting Professor Ashford saying that DOI staff, in particular Airport Staff are being harassed in the street. And this quote - With public dissatisfaction clearly growing around numerous areas falling under his department's remit, Chris Thomas insists he's still up for the challenge: I must admit I do find it hard to believe, and if true it’s unacceptable and the authorities need to take action against the perpetrators. However, as much as I disagree with what Minister Thomas has done and doing, I think this is scheming by Professor Ashford who clearly desires a return to the top table.

I wouldn’t believe a word that man said. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
