i feel a rant coming on
Rich_P:
I agree with many of the comments above. Better tuition for car drivers (perhaps even guidance and tuition on how to handle a bike when it starts to slide?), and a better system is what is needed.
--- Quote from: "BadgersRover" ---I say they should be limited, as with cars as well, there is no need to go above 70mph as that is the top speed limit in this country.

Are you mad? :shock:
The legal limit is there. But, there still remains that little word that is quickly disappearing in today's society called "Choice".
Oh, and you do sound awfully like an anti, especially with a little editing to show you how you really sound.

And no, i generally dont like 4x4 drivers as their attitude generally stinks and i am fed up with nearly ran off the road because they think the roads are for them only.

No offence of course. :wink:

No offence taken, but like with everything everyone is entitled to an opinion even if it doesnt fit in with what other people think.
No i dont like what anti's say about 4x4 drivers and our vehicles, but i have never had a problem with their personal opinion.
And to the person who quoted about "choice", it is my choice to be anti motorbike, and when i said about the white lines i mean between 2 cars travelling side by side on a motorway and a motorbike goes between them.

Limiting speed, umm .... those little scooter things that are all the rage at the moment, they do 30mph if you're lucky. That's fine in and around town, but it's far from ideal (or in any way safe) outside of town!
Limit all bikes to 70mph (or what ever speed)? Well, they can still do 70mph down the High Street or past the School gates! So where is the point in limiting the speed?
You can't legislate for idiots!
Oh yes, riding between cars on the motorway ... if there is space and it's done at a reasonable (relative) speed, then it's perfectly safe. Doing it at 60mph when the cars are doing 30mph is a death wish.
By the way, when I commuted around the M25 on a bike I lost count of how many drivers (while moving) were reading a map, a paper, a book :shock: , directions, putting on make-up, etc, etc :evil:
When I rode (daily, all year round, all weathers), I considered that every single vehicle was out to knock me off - and it seemed like they tried daily!

Well if we didn't have idiots constantly changing from one lane to the next because he/she is fed up of driving at 20mph when the next lane is travelling at 21mph. Motorcycles filtering would be a perfectly safe practise. Oh and those shiny things on the sides of the car mirrors I think they're called and those orange flashy things if every driver used them correctly. you know mirror signal manouvre. I can't see why filtering would ever be a problem.
Range Rover Blues:
Trouble is we live in a world run by idiots, it would appear the over-riding requirement for a politician to open their faces about somehting is to know nothing about the subject or be massively prejudiced against it.
Then I say that no-one who wants to be a politician should ever be allowed to hold office.
