So I added a paragraph before sending (and made use of the letters after my name )

Sir,
I too am becoming increasingly alarmed at the rising number of motorcycle deaths, caused by complete idiots using mobile phones, spilling diesel, pulling out of junctions whilst eating pies and generally using the public highway as if it were their lounge. These accidents are the fault of the other road users or even road conditions, are tragedies for a great many people. The main problem seems to me to be the lack of protection a motorcyclist has.

I wonder whether we should start looking at restricting the use of other forms of non motorcycle transport to, say, Holland, or even banning them altogether during the sociable hours of 5am to 11pm unless the driver is a regular rider of a motorcycle? I also wonder whether feckless whinging idiots should be made to carry out useful work for the community such as clearing up diesel spills, cow cr@p etc to help reduce such fatalities in compensation for being such pathetic spineless no marks.

Maybe a little considered thought for the actual causes of these incidents and addressing poor driving and road maintenance standards is more appropriate than banning something you fail to comprehend fully.

Pathetic

Regards

J. Southern RN(Rtd)

Come on, the guy has an opinion and felt strong enough to write into the paper and moan about it. Please don't go and re-enforce that stereo-type!

The guy needs educating, not scaring silly!

I agree Why confirm his opinion about motorcyclist by acting in the way he would expect when a response with reasoned argument could just make him realise that under those helmets are normal people.
Good to see The Times printed 3 letters from motorcyclists today
