Having represented the club on the local motorcycle casualty reduction forum since its inception you'd be very interested to hear the outcome of an in depth speed statistics analysis that we carried out. Some high speeds (some too high to be accurately clocked by the equipment) and not a single accident during the collection of info due to excessive speed. I know it is my personal hobby horse but I'm waiting for the day the TRUE statistics (if that isn't a contradiction in terms?) of how many KSI's are caused by the illegal use of handheld mobile phones. Why won't the police have a high profile purge on that? Surely anybody texting or pi$$ing about trying to dial a number or juggle a phone is far more likely to cause injury or death to another road user than a driver not wearing a seat belt? |
