Re: ELECTRIC CARS ON THE NC500
Worst thing about this is that women feel unsafe at the charging points. Thatβs a sad state of affairs

Re: ELECTRIC CARS ON THE NC500
Non story, the NC500 and many other parts of the UK have people (men and woman) parked up in remote locations day and night. In fact if the story is to have any credibility a charging point will the safest place as there will be a queue of such vehicles waiting in line with no option to drive off. Fuel stations are probably a bigger risk for car jacking.

Re: ELECTRIC CARS ON THE NC500
I guess if women feel unsafe doing so then maybe we need to think about future positioning/lighting etcSnaf MKII wrote: βFri Oct 29, 2021 2:27 pm Non story, the NC500 and many other parts of the UK have people (men and woman) parked up in remote locations day and night.

Re: ELECTRIC CARS ON THE NC500
If that were the case I'd agree but the article states "Itβs not safe. Especially for women on their own."Godspeed wrote: βFri Oct 29, 2021 2:54 pmI guess if women feel unsafe doing so then maybe we need to think about future positioning/lighting etcSnaf MKII wrote: βFri Oct 29, 2021 2:27 pm Non story, the NC500 and many other parts of the UK have people (men and woman) parked up in remote locations day and night.

It's a broad statement of the writers opinion that it's not safe for anyone. An opinion which was not apparently conducted by researching anyone else's view on the subject. It is a serious subject that deserves better journalism, I'm fussy where I park overnight when travelling, Liz even more so when on her own but are these charging locations and the NC500 locations really that unsafe, or more so than any other location that you may stop on your travels.

The NC500 is great
Everyone should do it, at least once β¦.every year
Boosts Scottish tourism too

Re: ELECTRIC CARS ON THE NC500
Progress is hard. Especially with pr!cks like the sun and mail making a big old fuss about every little thing and belittling it.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

I think Al meant to put this link up
It never come through on my phone

Bottom line is we do not have the infrastructure in place yet
