This debate has been had many times.
It's the impact that kills & the cause of the impact is idiots riding / driving at a speeds well above their control capability & usually on unfamiliar roads.
Having said that, why should I be lumped into the same catagory as them just because I ride??
I've been riding for well over 20yrs & only ever had 1 accident. That accident was not my fault & totally out of my control as I was hit from behind on the freeway.
So why should I be bullied by coppers while I'm quietly sitting with my partner having lunch at a cafe because someone else was riding too fast.
Don't bother me, go & catch the prick who was breaking the law.
