Checkout this.. sounds a bit pointed at us, dun't it ?

Campaign primary target audience

The target audience for the campaign will be those involved in speeding-related crashes, namely male drivers aged 17-39 years. Motorcycle riders also feature heavily in crash statistics, with speeding a major contributor.
The reducing Speeding campaign for 2007/2008 will:

• Highlight that speed enforcement by WA Police occurs in a range of road settings (both urban and rural) and by a variety of methods, thereby enhancing the deterrence effect of police enforcement efforts; and
• Integrate the message that enforcement of speed limits protects all road users from the speeding behaviour of individuals.

The campaign will run statewide and be applicable to drivers and riders engaging in speeding behaviour on both urban and rural roads.

this quote seems to be at odds with what Quigley wrote in http://www.perthstreetbikes.com/foru...council-46859/

In 2006 the W A Insurance Cornrnission reported that of the 403 accidents
resulting in the hospitalisation of a rider or pillion, fault was placed on the
rider in only 25 of these cases. This highlights that not all motorcyclists are
speeding or otherwise ridin.-g. irresponsibly.

dorro's had been hard for motorcyclists ever since he got buzzed on the freeway by all those backpackers doing wheelies.

Woo! I feel safer already.

Given they've made the double points period so long I've noticed they seem to use it as an opportunity to do set up major operations in as many suburbs as possible over the period...

Play it safe for a few weeks, kids. Wouldn't want anyone getting bogged in a pig pen.
