    An inquest has been opened, and adjourned, but we're still none the wiser regarding your last question. WalesOnline's article states that the boys died in a collision but without any evidence to back that up.

    Nonsense people can live where they like and vote how they like, it's obvious why most of Wales will always be Labour that's what I was replying to.

    I have said before I have voted for many parties and never Farage or hard right parties or Corbyn.

    You can't have it both ways say the economies crap and it's good we locked down for so long Drakeford is a hero and we should have locked down longer, they've made it harder for youngsters.

    Biggest issue now is Drakefords stupid reluctance to get people back in offices, unlike in England.

    All this investment in the Metro. Who the hell is gonna use it? What will young people do? Sit on their own in their twenties and never meet co workers?

    He didn't have a bad pandemic. But the sooner he goes the better for Wales.

    Very sad situation, as the Ely one was. Odd that the incident seems to have occurred after getting through the bollards which should have meant safety, as happened in Ely.

    I've no idea what the answer is here. If the police never follow an e bike ridden by someone without protective gear on then surely that'll give a green light to all sorts of criminal or dangerous behaviour but, of course, these lads don't deserve a death penalty for whatever it was they were doing, or suspected of doing, wrong either.

    What's your take on it?

    Same as you. I don’t know what the answer is. I can’t see restrictions on sales working and although safety education sounds OK it would probably only be taken up by the kids who wouldn’t ride in a dangerous way anyhow.

    Yes, just as any regulations brought in will be an extra expense and inconvenience to the law-abiding while being ignored by the irresponsible.

    Interesting turn of events in Italy where the transport minister (and deputy PM) proposed bringing in all sorts of nonsense, including indicators, for all bikes but has had to do a rapid u-turn within 48 hours and now claims he only intended it for scooters.

    Still claiming the boys died in a collision without providing any evidence. Interesting that the IOPC is still appealing for witnesses. There's obviously some confusion about an aspect of this, unless they're just trying to buy themselves some time before having to come to any kind of conclusion. Which won't be easy, to be fair.

    The whole thing is being handled extremely badly and it's another example of keystone cops by South Wales Police

    I don't think there's talk of cover up is there?

    Will be interesting to see how this pans out as surely dangerous driving is part and parcel of chasing after people? I guess it comes down to whether they should have done so or not, which does raise questions for catching criminals

    If people are using these illegal bikes to move drugs and guns around the estates and cities, like they are in Liverpool then surely they have to be chased?

    I'd have thought so, yes.

    I thought the police stopped chasing these two bikes a few hundred metres before the fatal crash as the police cars turned off down towards Grand Ave

    The problem is .......and why many in the community are pissed off .....is that they have no idea what happened as the police first said no chase too place , oh yes it did and now its possible a copper is going to be charged with dangerous driving !

    No cover up ?

    Back on the news kids stealing and riding and driving these bikes, motorbikes and quads causing chaos and ruining peoples lives, the police should be able to chase and try arrest people breaking the law.

    Yes, lets have a load of police chases around built up areas putting the general public at risk. Great idea.
