Death penalty for hackersThe best thing about electric vehicles is that they'll be a piece of piss to reprogram. They're already some of the fastest accelerating vehicles on the planet. A quick tune-up on a laptop and we'll all be driving fucking rockets

I've just bought a new plug-in hybrid - trying to do my bit, and all that. But I hear conflicting claims about the net benefit to the environment, when you take into account e.g. manufacture of batteries, and the energy to charge them (albeit we're on a green tariff, paying a bit more so that all ours is from renewable sources). Does anyone have any links to a decent (relatively non-partisan) study?

Hello
I imagine it's going to be possible to limit the speed of electric cars in the same way as ebikes and escooters can be. I think the scooters about to be trialled also have GPS that means they can only go at 8km/h in some places? Yeah, bring on the EV revolution if it looks like that.
Speed limits on Escooters are cancelled out by that bit in the contract where the user promises to ride like a complete cunt at all times.

Does this go for cyclists as well. At least three jumped a red light in front of me at the end of my road this week

Yes, right. I have seen scooters doing 20+ MPH.

We've already determined that cyclists who infringe the rules are to have their penises nailed to ther saddles.

Yes those are not speed-limited.

Nope - it’s fine for cyclists in some circumstances. Not a pedestrian crossing. Then they’d get a stern talking to and a leaflet.Does this go for cyclists as well. At least three jumped a red light in front of me at the end of my road this week

I’m all for stricter legislation and harsher penalties governing all types of road users. Including of course the introduction of jaywalking laws and liability for pedestrians- a staple of many countries, some of which get mentioned here as templates for the UK to follow.
For instance, increasingly stiffer financial penalties for repeat jaywalkers would perhaps succeed finally getting the message into predestinas’ heads that is actually neither safe nor okay to not to look before crossing a road or ignore traffic light-controlled crossing. I’d wager that measure would save far more pedestrian lives than well-observed citywide 20 mph limits.

IME Uber drivers are the worst at it. I’m unfortunate enough to ride on two streets that are used as rat runs by little cunts in small cars that have had fins n shit added. They tear by at 40mph or more and they get away with it

There are people who actually think this, for real.

All 20mph streets to be fitted with invisible speed cameras and no warnings for police stops
The blanket 20 limits are an object lesson in the adage that if a law is stupid people will ignore it. There are many, many, areas where 20mph limits make perfect sense but just as many where it’s demonstrably ridiculous and therefore generally ignored.
Impossible. It’ll mean cameras on nearly every road in Central London.

Whereas the bit about increasingly stiffer fines it’s just a bit of silly buggers on my part, entire countries and many or most of their citizens appear to approve of jaywalking laws and the concept of some burden of responsibility and liability falling on pedestrians. I’d be interested to know if you and Orang Utan actually think those countries with jaywalking laws have got it disastrously wrong, seeing as how outraged both of you appear to be at the very prospect.
