[QUOTE="1660bob, post: 48146, member: 366"] Manslaughter indeed, but even if a biker went down just seconds after some brain dead wannabee Top Gear presenter had dumped diesel on a roundabout,even caught on CCTV, his defence team would argue that there was likely/probably diesel there from another, earlier vehicle and whose to say which spill caused the crash???? Very difficult to prove. The Police may already be well aware of this,(As a Retired Plod myself, have just phoned my local nick to make sure it gets on their intelligence system-I would urge you all to do similar...) The Cops would be looking possibly at Construction and Use legislation if these mods were discovered on a stop check, along with Reckless/Dangerous driving depending on how they came across this, i.e. observing a "drifter" "practicing" on a roundabout. Any vehicle so equipped/modified suchlike would surely automatically nullify its insurance and being technically uninsured, MAY be possibly seized (and hopefully eventually crushed) by the Police under Insurance legislation, here`s hoping! Don`t let the injury or worse of a local biker lie on your conscience-phone your local nick now! Safe Riding, Bob. [/QUOTE]
