Car drivers are allowed to kill and injure riders and get off relatively penalty free and this "Safety" ad supports this premise!!
Been riding 40+ plus years and nothing has changed!!

Thanks for posting that link. It's a great article and absolutely spot on.
Everyone should have a read.

geez I'd love 5 minutes alone with the people who signed off on the TAC campaign....I just hope that one of them, one day, puts a leg over a bike (of any kind) and realises what they have done.
The Australian government and it's offices are a constant source of disappointment.

The fella who's running the petition is also collecting survey data for a meeting he's having with the TAC.
Survey here if you would like to participate:

Hope that works.

Heh! Spider, take a number, the line forms at the right!!
It is my experience that 99% of the cretins that formulate these strategies have the required Education and letters after their names but have very little or NO practical experience and/or knowledge on the subject!!
