[billyo]

the number of people killed in road accidents fell by 0.6% from 3221 to 3201 in figures published for 2005 there was 271.017 road casualties and 32,155 people were seriously injured, 3473 were childern of which 2134 were pedestrian 141 died on the roads, 671 pedestrian deaths, 16,600 were cyclists , 24500 were bikers with 569 killed car deaths 1675, injured 198.950. seriously 13,000. speed cameras have been branded a costly failuer as they dont work, figures published in the assoiciation of british drivers. so much for speed bumps, speed cameras and picking on 4x4s, have a go on your bike

Speed cameras work, it's just that motorists drive like idiots where there aren't any.

 

[billyo]

your only saying that joe, u know its bullsh##, a report in the british medical journal reports that road accidents resulting in hospital admission has remained unchanged for years

 

[joe-90]

So we need more speed cameras. Drivers today are rubbish to what they were a few years back.

Speed cameras, another stealth tax.

This happens as you get older joe, if you feel you are not safe on the road anymore maybe it's time to stop before you have an accident.

of course they work, if they didnt how would the old bill afford all those shiny new bikes they have round our way, so that they can then give out more parking fines a day

 

[joe-90]

You should park legally then.

just for the record people,speed does not kill.

in appropriate use of speed does kill.there is a massive difference.

 

[joe-90]

Kinetic energy is what kills you. The faster you go - the more of it there is. So speed does kill you.

 

[daytona]

also car drivers need to be more aware of bikers.last time i got knocked off,i just pointed at the fella and said"dont say it mate".ive heard it too many times

 

[Barsteward]
