Claire, can I just say one thing?
My son on his electric bike went through a red light.
He was stopped by the police.
I mean, he didn't realise they were after him.
He was like cycling on and the sirens were going.
So he got a real shock.
In Brussels, you have to carry ID if you're over 12.
So they got his ID.
We got a letter in the post like two days later.
Right.
So a lot of it, it comes down to kind of enforcement.
If you can, if you're a 14 year old and go out in a scooter and they're not going to tell me about the impact of that letter on him.
that had a big impact on him it gave him a big fright and you know even things like he won't go on a scooter now with his pal whereas he might have in the past never do that now so he is more cautious I've gone out because sometimes we'll get the shared bikes and we'll go into town together like it's actually a nice thing to do as well you know and he's he's cautious you know he's now so it did have an effect on him being shouted at the like the Brussels police you know they're not softies like they and I do have sympathy for the police here it's hard there's no ID system
You know, it is harder.
Absolutely.
And that guard who texted in, like, I do sympathise with him.
I totally agree with him.
They should get backed up to the hilt.
You know, you'll see in Belgium, they like the guards are given a bit more leeway with, you know, they'll confiscate scooters on the street.
I mean, this is not related.
