Increase in seizures of illegal ebikes

Ooh, I love a good crackdown.

ooh matron !!

Yes - it does seem that way

A lot of enforcement does seem to be about expectations
if people expect to get away with it them they will do it

If they see evidence of enforcement, then they will start to stop doing it

They also deny all knowledge of knowing that it was not legal - but if there are headlines in the local papers - and "social" media - then they suddenly remember

so articles like this one helpa lot

I seriously doubt the slaveroo contractors find time to read local newspapers generally filled with angry people pointing at things and making silly faces. These crackdowns are about mainly pandering to suburbia's voters and not reducing the causes that might upset some big businesses.

It shouldn't matter if the "slavery contractors" take the time to read local newspapers. The fact that their "fish trying to survive" whilst using illegal vehicles, that shouldn't be on roads now face being removed a bit more frequently, might just make them think.

If they were using unlicensed cars for deliveries, would you be taking the same stance?
