,,,,what the hell is that about. Just noticed this tag against my name. I First passed my test 45 years ago and have held a full license ever since. Sorry about the odd missed word in first post but trying to type with the family shouting for me to watch Transformers is a bloody nightmare

Mebe. But you haven't passed our wee test yet.

Over the last few days I've continually been hearing of 50 biker deaths in the last year and it is openly accepted that 50% of these are not biker fault.

Where the fuck did you get that idea from?

By far the majority have been solely the fault of a motorcyclist.

Which is: how, exactly, you respond to this:

Can one of the mod's change the tag to "grandad" ?

Hmm...It would be nice if

• everyone paid their fair share.
• better driver and rider training were introduced.
• drivers/riders were tested regularly to keep their license "current".
• there were the equivalent of MAG or FEMA on our little island.

but I'd be gobsmacked if any of the above ever happened here.
