Plod then pulls you in for riding in a group.
How will you ever prove you don't know each other?
Let's face it, if you do get pulled riding with your mate, you are probably going to claim you don't know each other, so eventually, Plod will get wise to this and just nick any bikes anywhere near each other, sounds like a great little earner for them, with lots of scalps to mark up.
Much easier than nicking crims or separating Millwall and West Ham supporters.
Ah.... but only between 7pm and 7am in Warwickshire ..... at the moment.

..... though how long before the "Bikers' Curfew" is extended .....

Oh, it's not just bikes - it says motor vehicles (including motorcycles) ..... so cars, buses, vans, lorries, scooters, mobility scooters, trains, trams or any combination thereof are at risk - if the drivers and/or passengers are meeting up.

Shit, best tell me gran and her mates stop going down bingo on a night and to park the mobility scooter up after 7pm otherwise she'll get nicked

Nanny states's transformation to nazi state must almost be completed.

Yup - Police state is now complete! There was a letter in our local ex-pats newspaper about a chap who had his Spanish registered car impounded because he had the nerve to visit the UK twice within a year! Yes - welcome to the UK - if you are a foreigner, they will record your number plate on arrival, and assume you never went home. After six months, if you are still in the UK, they will nick your car and charge you £400 to get it back again (unless you can prove you went back home in the meantime).
Shame about all the illegals arriving in the back of HM Border Agency vans......
Coppers over here couldn't give a shit as long as you don't break real laws!

So much for the end of borders within Europe !
Seems to apply everywhere except for here.
