  Yes Marek..this is the second moped death in about two weeks and always a very sensitive topic as the families are local and of course grieving. The earlier accident was up on the road to Canterbury not far outside Dover and featured a young man of 24. It was a particularly nasty accident ..wont go into detail as again the families could see this.
  
  Doverforum has been contacted before by families following accidents.

  Very sad. Wonder if he had a heart-attack while riding the scooter.

  Roger, as you say very sad. Following on from PaulB's comment I do not think speculation about what happened helps the family and friends.

  I merely reported verbatum the KOL article. It goes without saying that we all offer our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
