I agree with all that is being said here. But with regards to the Public service adverts, when was the last time you saw anything like this on the TV? I remember that when I was younger, you would see adverts for motorcycle sales in the same way as you would motor vehicles. That is very much a thing of the past. There are no public programs for informing car drivers about motorcycle riders. I often say that, before you can drive a car and get a car license, you should have to spend 12 months on our roads as a motorcycle rider. It should be a car license qualifying element. I tried to get on a "bike safe" program where I live only to be told that there is no budget for this in Scotland and it has been shelved.

It’s heartening to have someone like this lady in the place she is. In a similar vein, It’s always heartening when a motorcycle thief comes up against a magistrate or judge who has had their motorcycle stolen.

All learners of any vehicle should have to complete the CBT first. Then the theory then the practical test

As a motorcyclist and a car driver. I find while riding that the sin i always see is drivers rarely if never double look before pulling out and especially never look right when pulling out/turning left at junctions. I myself have just won a 6 year legal battle from an RTC that has left me with a perminant injury and limited use to my right arm&shoulder due to a driver not looking for me on a roundabout and taking me out. And there excuss was "oh sorry i didnt see them"

Imagine that you could help save a cager from the utter horror of knowing that they kill or maimed someone by negligent omission. I can’t imagine how I would, or could, deal with the overwhelming guilt.

I have been saying for years that anyone applying for any driving licence should be made by law to do a CBT course and also a set period on a learner motorcycle before going on to learn to drive 4 wheeled vehicles. Riding a motorcycle teaches you a lot about hazard perception, road conditions, being motorcycle aware and the adverse effects of weather on the aforementioned situations.

Car drivers are not educated about other road users and Give Way junctions should never have been conceived, absolutely ludicrous

I'm sure in the USA junctions all have STOP signs.

I agree with what is said but i blame the goverment. They made it compulsory to have headlights on all the time on motorbikes and we stood out. Now cars and everything are the same and we have disappeared again. We have a single, mainly crap headlight, cars have multiple some ive seen have got 12 sets of leds. If cars pull out on cars, what chance have we got. Signed the petition though but i will be surprised if anything gets done.

Think bike was a good advert but it had no impact on RTA stats.
