How about a urgent need to raise the standard of car drivers in WA.

How about a urgent need to raise the standard of car drivers in WA.

One step at a time
I think if we as riders show we are trying to do something about it, we can actual abuse drivers for there urgent need for training

[Garett]

I think it reads well.

[Cloud Stryder]

he's not wearing gloves... Get him!

i know in some states or countries, there are courses people can take, which are like a week or something that will assist in the time it takes to get your complete license.
as in, if courses were counted as part of getting your license as a whole.
might be a good thing for learners.
i know as a learner right now, id love to go somewhere to spend more time getting to know the ins and outs and work more intense, then just a couple lessons every week.
hope that doesn't sound complaining-y... but i still think the more time to get comfy the better.

the option would be good.
i think is what im thinking

[Xuaxace]

Are there many deaths among ''novices''?

P.s I wouldn't have minded some rider training.

[chee]

both the motorcycle licensing system and the car licensing system need a thorough overhaul.

[polonY]

I don't have an issue with what it says, it mentioned a public awareness campain which is a good start.

[Falcore]

all for stronger licensing laws, way too easy to get your license an upgrade to a big one

[Shortfuse]

And to support that they need to subsidise Advanced Rider Training.

[Geeza]

No mention of blind cage drivers!

[Falcore]

dont agree with any subsidys, those courses should be compulsory an if you cant afford it then tough, riding isnt a god given right

[Randomman]

Motorcyclists strongly believe that drivers need to become more aware of motorcycles on the road and called for a renewed public awareness campaign.

Fuck that. I got cut off just as many times in my cage as I do on my bike. Perth drivers need to learn to do fucking head checks.

[Shortfuse]

if you cant afford it then tough, riding isnt a god given right

That is crap.

[Hamster]

That is crap.

Not if it applies to cars as well, otherwise yes.

Great thing about bikers is that they tend to be self regulating when it comes to shit riding. Unfortunately car drivers seem to end up killing others.
