Front number plates on motorcycles by 2009...

[BUSGO]

What a CROC!!!

The whole argument for the fitting of front identifiers is based on the presumption that if front identifiers are fitted to motorcycles, they will slow the rider down to a NON death defying speed and therefore give that rider a 20% more chance of surviving the ride.
It also presumes that 53% of motorcycle deaths involve travelling at above the signposted speed limit. (pretty good estimation by someone)

Question: What is that speed?
Answer: Whatever the front facing speed camera happens to be set on...

Question: Will a motorcyclist slow down because he has a front identifier fitted?
Answer: Yes, whenever the motorcyclist is approaching a speed camera.
No, at any other time.

Question: How many of us have been killed or "Almost killed" due to travelling at higher than signposted speed limits?
Answer: (Put your hand up if you are dead) Or ALMOST DEAD due to speeding.

Question: How many of us have been killed or "Almost killed" due to other traffic hazards including blind drivers, poor road surfaces?
Answer: Many more than killed by travelling above the speed limit.

Question: What is the purpose of this exercise?
Answer: To gather a few thousand more dollars from inatentive riders who blunder upon a speed camera without slowing down. (They probably deserve to be booked for inatentiveness)

Of course, I'm speaking from my home in NSW where all speed cameras have to be signposted unless they are in a roving patrol car.
