Urban Peril, Viral Video of Electric Mobility Trike Driving on Main Road Sparks Concerns
Picture courtesy of Daily News. A viral video showing a three-wheeled electric mobility scooter driving alongside large vehicles on a busy main road has sparked widespread concern among netizens, prompting calls for clearer safety regulations. The video was posted on the popular Facebook page “Than Pao,” showing a small electric trike, typically used by elderly individuals or those with limited mobility, bravely navigating a bustling traffic lane amidst fast-moving cars and trucks. The caption cheekily read: “Mobility vehicles for the elderly should be used in alleys, not driven down major roads like this…” The incident is believed to have occurred on a main thoroughfare in an unspecified urban area. The clip shows the trike weaving across lanes, drawing alarm from viewers who deemed it a disaster waiting to happen. Online reactions were swift and anxious. Many expressed deep concern that such vehicles, which are not designed for high-speed roads or heavy traffic environments, pose a significant danger, not only to their drivers but to other road users as well. “These vehicles aren’t equipped to handle road speeds or visibility challenges. One wrong move and it could end tragically,” one commenter wrote. Others called for urgent intervention from local traffic and transport authorities. Suggestions included enforcing clear restrictions on where mobility trikes can be used, designating safe zones or pedestrian paths and launching public education campaigns for users. Calls were also made to the Department of Land Transport and municipal traffic agencies to develop concrete guidelines and usage policies for low-speed electric vehicles, particularly as their popularity grows among vulnerable populations.

Government 'not satisfied' with BBC response on Bob Vylan, Demands Accountability
UK Government Demands Accountability from BBC over Bob Vylan Glastonbury Broadcast The UK government has intensified pressure on the BBC following its decision to live stream a Glastonbury performance by punk duo Bob Vylan, during which the artists led a chant of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]." Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told the House of Commons on Thursday that she is “not satisfied” with the BBC’s response and said she “would expect there to be accountability at the highest levels” within the corporation. The BBC has acknowledged the incident, admitting that the comments made during the live set were “utterly unacceptable” and stating it should have cut the broadcast sooner. The performance remained available on iPlayer for over four hours before being removed, drawing sharp criticism from across the political and public spectrum, including from Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis and broadcast regulator Ofcom, which noted the broadcaster had “questions to answer.” In an internal email to the BBC’s Jewish staff network on Tuesday, Director General Tim Davie condemned the incident unequivocally. “I was, and remain, appalled by Bob Vylan's deeply offensive and totally unacceptable behaviour during his Glastonbury set,” he wrote. “That performance had no place on the BBC, and there is absolutely no place for antisemitism at the BBC.” Bob Vylan have since faced serious consequences. Multiple upcoming performances have been cancelled, including shows in Manchester, France, and Germany. Avon and Somerset Police have opened a criminal investigation into their Glastonbury comments, while London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed that the band is also being investigated for remarks allegedly made during a performance at Alexandra Palace in May. New footage shows that Bob Vylan didn’t just chant “Death to the IDF,” he said “Death to every single IDF soldier out there.” This is direct incitement to violence. And includes every single Jewish, Druze, Christian, and Muslim IDF soldier. The culture secretary’s criticism of the BBC did not end with this particular incident. Earlier this week, she referenced what she described as a pattern of “recent editorial failures” at the public broadcaster. Among them is a controversy involving the documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone, which was pulled from iPlayer in February after revelations that it was narrated by the child of a Hamas minister. “When you have one editorial failure, it's something that must be gripped,” Nandy said on Monday. “When you have several, it becomes a problem of leadership.” The BBC is currently conducting a formal review of the Gaza documentary episode and is expected to publish its findings in the near future. Meanwhile, pressure continues to mount on the corporation’s top executives as both government officials and the public demand accountability and clearer editorial standards.
