No
offence taken, I cannot argue with you on this, it is just what the road
safety
organisations say.
I
have
come across this "public highway" thing before.
About
a year back I called the Police to remove cars from blocking the pedestrian
path
after a woman was hit by a car whilst walking past on the road, the Police
turned up and slapped a ticket on the first car but let the others drive
off,
one of then had crime covered number plates (actually looked like it had
none)
and when I asked the Police man why he did not do anything to said vehicle
his
reply was "I can't touch it as it is not on the public
highway"!!!
This
is in no way a criticism of the Police as I have and still do have the
greatest
respect for them in a job that is getting harder and more violent, and my
brother-in-law is one of them!
The
point is, car drivers think they can do whatever they want regardless of
the
law, even to the detriment of the pedestrian safety.
All I
want to be is safe, and all I want is our children to bee safe, they are
our
future.
Just
out of interest I will contact the Cycle Touring Club "CTC" and see what
they
say, it will be interesting if I have been wrong all these
years!

Brian,
Sorry, but have to disagree with the ILLEGAL aspect - I've enquired
about this before and it's only illegal on the public
highway.
I
do, however, agree that it is dangerous and risky from a theft perspective.
That's why I mentioned in another post the Clifford Smartstart. With this,
the
car remains locked with the alarm armed and there are no keys in the
ignition.
Also, if you try to drive the car away without disarming the alarm and
putting
the key in the ignition, it cuts out as soon as you attempt to drive away.
It's a cool device, very safe (as long as you don't fit it to a
manual).
