WHILST I'm sure everyone supports anything that reduces road death, may I make a point from the car driver's view.

I regularly travel the A48 to Gloucester. I always travel with the flow, usually at the permitted legal speed.

Without exception bikes will pass on the straight, through villages, crossing double white lines, on the hatching marks and on the inside and weaving in and out approaching Gloucester.

Where I live, one regularly accelerates like a loony up the hill of the estate. I have also been passed on Lydney bypass by a biker pulling a wheely (on his back wheel only with front raised).

These guys are 'chancers'. They have a habit of ending up dead!

So yes motorist 'think bike' but even more importantly, "BIKERS THINK!" – Concerned motorist, Lydney.
