As a biker - I can assure you that as a group we are picked on way more than car owners. We make up a very small % of road users. So low in fact that the the road transport lot consider bikes as a recreational use not a mode of transport and this means that they can put up miles of cable as opposed to armco on motorways/dual carriageways - this stuff simply slices and dices riders who are unfortunate to hit it.
Despite evidence showing that low sun in winter is blinding we are banned from using dark visors, despite the fact that you will often see police motorcyclists riding with them. Why - because the powers that be think we are incapable of switching visors at night :duh:
Road surfaces get worse and worse, they are doing nothing to stop people spilling diesel all over the roads - lethal if you are on 2 wheels. They also don't bother punishing drivers who come up with the "Sorry mate, didn't see you" line and kill riders but will send to prison bikers caught speeding on motorways - even though car drivers have been clocked at higher speeds they do not go to prison.
All good points ,never thought of the cable armco and bikes you would think they would ban it.still think they get away with the camera though .I must admit my biggest gripe with bikes is the noise they make ,i live on a busy road and of a night some of the bikes make the windows shake not to mention waking my little girls .A bloke up the rd runs out with a shovel sometimes to get a certain biker who insists on doing silly speeds at 2 in the morning ,he aint got him yet but we live in hope .
