piss taking. It honestly does help to have an education.

 

Decent spelling and grammar should have been learnt by the age of 16 - if you need to go to University to learn how to spell then something is wrong.

My degree is in Software Engineering, theres nothing like an unfeeling computer to make you spell correctly. After your compiler tells you that you have a syntax error for the 100th time you figure it out.

RE: Just the bike

I think what annoys people more is when bikers have accidents because they were arsing around and thinking they are invincible, flitting from lane to lane and then blaming the traffic for not looking. We then have to wait ages for the police and ambulance to turn up and shovel the victim into a bag, whilst watching more motorbikers 'filter' past us to an early grave.

 

RE: Just the bike

So tell me when you last saw a motorbike accident, i've been driving trucks for 15 years and done thousands of miles and riding bikes legally for 24 years, guess how many splattered bikers as you put it i've seen. NOT ONE, yes they happen, but the majority are cage drivers who couldnt give a flying f`uck for other road users that causes traffic jams for hours on end.  </p>

 

RE: Just the bike

As a frequent user of the Woodhead pass I see plenty unfortunately.

Taken from a report from the Department for Transport :

"Motorcyclists have an especially poor safety record when compared to other road
user groups. Their killed and serious injury (KSI) rate in the UK, per million vehicle
kilometres, is approximately twice that of pedal cyclists and over 16 times that of
car drivers and passengers. Motorcyclists make up less than 1% of vehicle traffic but
their riders suffer 14% of total deaths and serious injuries on Britain’s roads (DETR,
2000).
26,192 motorcyclists (this figure includes moped and scooter riders) and pillion
passengers were injured in reported accidents in Great Britain in 1999. 6,361 of
these injuries were considered serious, and 547 motorcyclists and passengers were
killed. In the same year 205,735 car drivers and passengers were injured in
accidents. 18,681 of these injuries were considered serious, and 1,687 drivers and
passengers died."

In Depth Study of Motorcycle Accidents

Also of interest in the opening paragraphs:

"Motorcyclists themselves seem to have far more problems with other types of
accident, such as those on bends, and overtaking or ‘filtering’ accidents.

There are two main groups of riders that interventions should be focussed on.
The first is young and inexperienced riders of smaller capacity machines such as
scooters, and the second is older, more experienced riders of higher capacity
machines. Both the skills and attitudes of these riders need to be addressed."
