    very simple - dont drive motorbikes - they are dangerous and when u have an accident there is no bodywork to protect you - hopefully now the motorcyclist will come to his senses

    Maz by your theory lets not ride bicycles either, \'they are dangerous and when u have an accident there is no bodywork to protect you\'.

    What a stupid idea.

    You can\'t just say not to ride them. My husband is a biker and after 2 accidents, I am terrified when he\'s out on the bike but it\'s a cheap, greener mode of transport and he adores it. People sadly die in car crashes every day, but that doesn\'t mean we shouldn\'t drive. X

    "dont drive motorbikes - they are dangerous"?

    Don't you mean that motorcyclists are more vulnerable road users? In this case a potentially avoidable collision meant the motorcyclist came off worse. I think many measures are required including regular compulsory re-testing, better hazard awareness training and stricter traffic enforcement.
