I have the document somewhere in the house, only open roads accident figs are used... TT is on closed roads so they are not included.. however the TT fortnight casualites are always much higher than any other time of the year, this is not rocket science tho, anywhere up to 15000 bike on an Island 35 miles long by 12 miles wide...... suprised there are not more to be honest as our roads are very demanding...

shame it's our winter now or I'd go for a lap to celebrate

WTF!!1!!!

They're introducing speed cameras next year? Why? There's NO speedlimit. Juan, go bitch slap them for me pleassee.

If they wreak the place before I've had a chance to visit I'll go postal on their asses.

Call me cynical, but this looks like a "uh oh, there's a huge public outcry against this, so lets drop it and find a way of implimenting behind the publics back".

Why on earth would they need speed cameras? To make tourist think 'shit, speed camera, better slow down'?

Not as many as those for the decision.

I know whose the culprit of all this. Its the damned MAE. I hate the MAE.

There are speed limits in built up areas, and most of the way round the TT course, for safety reasons you understand Stiil the mountain section is still speed limit free

Yes, cynical, we are under the microscope re death and serious injury figures for ever.....

Quite right too. They should ban speed altogether.
It's a proven fact that Speed Kills.

Ah but is also proven that it's not the speed that kills but the usual sudden stop at the point of impact... therefore we should ban stopping...OK?
