Foreign Driver in Fatal EV Collision with Motorbike, Drags It Over 50 Metres
But I have seen court cases in which the drivers who caused deaths in similar situations were acquitted. May be the judges sympathized with the drivers, or they didn't like the victims. -

The Post 'Comment Link URL' Has Disappeared
Confirmed, now must be 'Logged-In' to see the comment URL Link. "To me, it makes sense not to display a "Comment" button to a reader who is not logged in." Sir you missed my point, often a thread can be long with many comments, A link for the last comment, bookmarked allows one to jump to where that thread's last 'read place' was. Now must scroll down the entire thread to find where you were last, if you can remember. It is a PITA. Hey Admins, please fix this, was never this way before. Thank You. -

Something smelling musky -- the age of undemocratic in your face oligarchy in the USA.
Sadly, this is the wrong forum to do that. Sides have been clearly delineated. You will never change a MAGA opinion. This is red meat to them, they LOVE to eff with you! An interesting read here, explaining how the US has become a factionalized anocracy [a degenerating democracy] that is quickly approaching the open insurgency stage. A second civil war is brewing, we're closer than we want to admit. https://fpif.org/how-to-counter-fascism/ -

Foreign Driver in Fatal EV Collision with Motorbike, Drags It Over 50 Metres
This is just about 500 m from the site of the accident. I doubt the authority would set the speed limit to 60 kph on this kind of road. Not just bends, there are many junctions with no road marking at all, and shops or housing area entrances just by the roadside. Common sense tells me, even a 50 kph speed limit is already high. There was someone who said 80 kph....... https://maps.app.goo.gl/W87EHVkQJdQne7g48 Since the car was probably going down a slope from the overhead bridge, and the road in front is a little wider, I assume he/she increased the speed. So, at the site of the accident (probably the + junction), the car was most likely quite fast, very likely exceeding the limit (speed limit won't increase just because there is a slope). As a result, it took about 45-50 meters to stop. This is the distance between the + junction and the entrance of housing area where the CCTV is. Since speed limits are there to reduce harm, the driver caused serious harm because of failure to drive at or below the limit, he/she cannot claim 0 fault. -

Female Journalists Rally Around Allison Pearson Amid Fears for Press Freedom
The investigation into journalist Allison Pearson has sparked a wave of support among female journalists, who warn they could face similar scrutiny over their work or social media posts. Pearson, a columnist for *The Telegraph*, is currently under investigation by three police forces for a now-deleted tweet. The controversy has ignited broader discussions about freedom of expression and the role of the police in regulating speech. On Remembrance Sunday, Pearson was visited at her home by Essex Police. They informed her of a complaint related to her tweet but declined to provide details about the alleged offense or the identity of the complainant. This incident has drawn criticism from fellow journalists, including *Daily Mail* columnist Sarah Vine, who described the situation as a "frightening moment for press freedom." Vine remarked on the pressures faced by journalists, particularly women, saying: “Journalists, and especially female journalists, are used to receiving a lot of abuse. It’s not easy, but it comes with the territory. We console ourselves with the thought that the police and responsible authorities have our back. What has happened to @AllisonPearson has shown that is no longer true. It’s a frightening moment for press freedom. The fact that @Keir_Starmer seems okay with it is even more chilling.” *Daily Mail* journalist Rachel Johnson, the sister of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, echoed these concerns. Sharing an article written by her brother in Pearson’s defense, she stated: “Hear hear – and so say all of us standing with @AllisonPearson. They messed with the wrong Welshwoman this time, but any one of us could be next.” The investigation centers on whether Pearson’s tweet constituted a Non-Crime Hate Incident (NCHI) or violated the Malicious Communications Act. Although NCHIs are not criminal offenses, they are recorded by police. Essex Police recently clarified that Pearson is now being investigated under section 17 of the Public Order Act for allegedly stirring up racial hatred with a post made in November last year. The controversy has prompted a government review of how police handle NCHIs. Donna Jones, the former chair of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, criticized the approach, arguing that police should not be engaging with individuals unless a crime has been committed. “The police should not be going to somebody’s home if they have not committed a crime,” Jones stated. She added, “If it is a non-crime, it should stop there. Yes, collect the data, feed it into the Home Office, but going further only wastes police resources.” The sentiment was shared by Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, who told *The Telegraph*: “We need to stop this behavior of people wasting police time on trivial incidents because they don’t like something, as if they’re in a nursery.” Other politicians, including Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, and Suella Braverman, former home secretary, have voiced similar frustrations with the policing of speech. Renowned barrister Geoffrey Robertson KC also criticized the investigation, calling it “a waste of public money.” The incident, he suggested, illustrates the need for a reassessment of priorities in policing. As the debate over Pearson’s case continues, the outpouring of support highlights concerns among female journalists about the implications for press freedom. “Any one of us could be next,” Rachel Johnson warned, a sentiment that resonates widely in a profession increasingly under scrutiny for expressing contentious views.
