Now to all who know me, you will know that I don't get upset often if at all, but I was deeply offended by what was written in the West Australian. Let me recap an incident for you Mr Martin that happened only a couple of days ago. Now before you write off this because of the 2 vehicles involved just remember that no matter what size the engine 2 wheels is 2 wheels. On my birthday 5th June I was on my way home in my car. As I putted down Leach Hwy I come across 2 cars with hazards (1 a taxi and 1 a hire car Corolla). I then see a lifeless body lying on the road and noone attending to him. Being the person I am I pull over dial 000 notify the police and the ambo's go to turn my car around and there in front of me is a mangled scooter. I park my car in a side street and get out to assist.
Now to cut a long story short, the guy on the scooter was not seen by the driver, he was unresponsive but breathing and when the police arrived the driver changed his story to make it the guy on the scooters fault. I still haven't heard how this guy is, but I'm sure from what I saw he was lucky to still be breathing.
Now Mr Martin you explain to me how we as 2 wheeled motorists are a meance to society. This particular incident doesn't even make the news because it is deemed as not important enough. I think we need to look at driving and riding education in general rather than picking out 1 particular group and victimising them because of misdemeanours...so instead of ridiculing and victimising groups and making out that what your particular article was about was a road safety issue and not another revenue raising bitch and moan, lets educate everyone to start thinking about whats around them rather than whats just going on in front.
