you see motor cyclists think they can get away with doing that, being on 2 wheels and being able to get in between traffic, BUT they cant because isnt it motor cyclists who have most the accidents? and they say on that "advertisement" take longer to look for motor cyclists, they dont say that when they overtake you at silly speed!!

just last week, over here there were 3 motor cyclists who had lost their lives, one through dangerous driving smashed into a wall, the 2nd had caused an accident in the high street and the 3rd had fell of his bike through being clever by driving inbetween a lorry and a car, he'd lost control of the bike smacked into the lorry........!!!!!!

Some bikers think they are above the law

Having said that i was out in the MGB a couple of weekends ago on a run through the Snake Pass(between Sheffield & Manchester) saw loads of bikers driving to the speed limits on what is a notorious bad accident area so like everything else there's good & bad. Then of course there are WHITE VAN DRIVERS no rules what so ever

my fella is a white van man but seriously he drives sensibly, even if he wanted to he couldnt go fast his van has no breaks, he has over 70 parcels so you imagine the weight on the back of the van?

but yeah some round my way, white van drivers are c0cks! (sorry)
its like they are blind to pedestrians, as they just pull up on pavement, or in a bus lane and faff around!

I have to agree... the riding of the bikers going to the NW200 last week was very good. Most of them were driving to the speed limit, and generally being good (no stupid stuff).

No brakes (

)... He shouldn't even be given that van. I think you maybe mean very poor brakes.

No doubt Taxi Drivers Bikers & White Van drivers all say the same about ZS owners. As we say in Yorkshire Thar's nowt queer' er than folk ! Better do some work now or maybe have a coffee.

well yeah poor brakes!

a few weeks ago one of the delivery guys had an accident due to the poor vans they are given, the police went to the depot and had all the vans checked over, most of them needed new tyres, new windscreen wipers and new brakes!!

death trap they are, and the boss had to get mechanics in etc that nigth and fix them, they didnt do Andys or one of the other drivers van, he isnt staying there long anyway he's leaving.
