Wonder if they introduce something similar for cars

what do you think? did they make car drivers take a cbt type training course? did they make them do an off road test before their main test? did they restrict their access to faster and more powerful cars?

[nokatanayet]

and what would be the total cost of getting a full power licence ?

This should apply to car drivers too!

Recently a 17 year old driver killed a 72 year old in Barrow when he lost control of his joy boy car!

one rule for car drivers and just another obstacle put in the way of motorcyclists.........

It should, we all know that but the b*stards in charge chose to ignore that fact!!!
They run "safer driving" courses down here for young drivers that have had "brushes" with the law regarding their driving & they're ALWAYS FULL

but do they try to tackle the problems properly by restricting the hot headed boy & girl racers????

Do they f*ck!!! Just penalise the bikers again

[johnr]

its not a case of deliberately penalising bikers. simple fact is that the govt is never going to do something to piss off so many millions of registered voters, erm i mean drivers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Katman]

Well it kind of is, cos there's a lot less registered voters that ride bikes

[johnr]

but biking is seen as a 'leisure persuit' whereas driving is thesedays seen as a 'yewman rite'
