Mad Doc will now be jealous. He was hoping his youngest would get done for speeding on her trike as he cannot keep up with her :rotfl;

If I had a 3 year old disabled child and had a blue badge for that child and a tax exemt car for that child. That car would have to be re-registered in the childs name to receive the road tax exemption.

Obviously the parent/carer probably got pinged - but the law has to be a ass as this kid would not be able to complete it and as far as I am aware from reading all the stuff in the motoring rags and legal advice .. the RK has to nominate a driver. This might be an interesting point of law here

To IG.. . I really struggled to keep up with our youngest this afternoon.. She was on a "roll" here. I think I am looking at a potential Nicola Cooke or my particular fave cyclist pro - Emma here.

This child of ours.. I think 8 mph average speed for a 3 year old on a trike in our local public gardens by the Waters deserves a public and a
