" Mr Johnson said 12 motorcyclists had died this year on WA roads."

And, of course, ALL those deaths were the direct result of stunting. None died from bad road conditions, bad weather conditions, having another vehicle collide with them, failing to correctly take a corner etc...

Getting so sick of this bullshit. Today Tonight obviously has nothing better to do than look for stunna sites and then label all riders under the same tag. Shame..

Re: Impressive Prize Winning Journalism

" WA bike riders continue to beat speed cameras because licence plates are not compulsory on the front of bikes. WA road safety authorities are working with Victorian colleagues on licence stickers and rubber plates to go on the front of motorbikes."

The ismple solution to this, is to chnage the direction in which the camera is pointing... but of course, the problem will be that the driver/rider will have a few extra meters to react and slow down (which I thought was th epoint) however, this loses revenue, and thus is not an option...

Re: Impressive Prize Winning Journalism

The strong rumour is that they are changing the cameras around in WA in September which will obviously stop the carnage on the road

Obviously that is more important than removing the biker slicing wire from roads, catching trucks that spill diesel on the road, charging drivers with manslaughter who kill bikers with the excuse that they did not see them, reinstating the police run rider training course that was slashed in the budget, councils that put gravel on the road with no warning signs, running bike awareness campaigns and that is just the start

Funny thing is.

I recall talkin to my mate in sydney who used to be a cop. He said that in nsw they legally have to take photos from the rear of all vehicles due to some privacy act.
