This is insane - the first time they cut the power off and somebody got killed or killed pedestrians, they'd string up the guy who approved it.

Good Idea, I can't stand these speeding, aggressive, noisy vehicles, I emphasize noisy. I know there are some sensible people out there that enjoy bikes, I'm not talking about them I'm talking about the sleazy ones.

Not compulsory...yet.
You know how it goes. Optional this year, compusory next year!
But anyone worth his salt will be able to bypass/remove this technology.

This thing most likely uses GPS, what happens when it can not get a good signal? When it fails will the bike work at all?
It isn't like it is that hard to make a short range GPS jammer.

Oh, that'll be fun... You're in the midst of passing a bus, or a line of 3 or 4 18-wheelers, when suddenly they cut your power. You ever see a head-on crash on the highway between a bike and a car? Not pretty.

How about a satellite that monitors public officials. When found with their heads up their a---s, they get one electric shock. The second time it's strong enough to make them pass out. The third time they are expelled from office.

Imagine rushing your wife or child to the hospital only to have the engine disabled along the way. This is absurd.

Someone will have a way to bypass it the day this comes into effect. Will likely make some good money doing it.

Roads minister Stephen Ladyman — a former boy racer — will endorse the controversial plan today.
Some jokes just write themselves!!
On the serious side, not only is this an incredibly dangerous and insane thing to do, politically, it is the most extreme level of nanny-state socialism. It's a good thing our forefathers cut the ties with Great Britain over 200 years ago over taxes . . . . .
