Introduce new traffic legislation to benefit motorbikes and

[tonyparnham]

Hi all

I would like your help into making the roads safer and better for riders on two wheels ..... I would be grateful if you would support this cause by signing and sharing the petition! Please follow the link below. Thanks

Make it law that road users must move to the nearside in a traffic jam or when the traffic is stationery/slow moving, on multi lanes inner lanes move to the nearside and the outer lane move to the offside. Allowing motorbikes and emergency services to filter/continue without risk of accident.

I am a motorbike rider of many years with an advanced riding certificate and a member of Blood bike Wales. With more traffic users on the roads each year. I find there to be the downturn/deterioration of courtesy and common sense within road users, more and more road users do not give way and sadly selfishly blocks the way of motorbike users during slow moving or stationary traffic.

This would increase safe passage for motorbikes and emergency services without affecting the road user!

What's wrong with not moving over?

Is it because they're not showing reasonable consideration for other persons using the road?

If it got through it would be another law that the majority ignore with no-one to enforce it.

I love the assumption that they can take their eyes off their phones while they are in slow moving traffic long
enough to spot us filtering in the first place.. Good luck with that, for all your qualifications you seem to have missed
the apparent introduction of a new rule for motorists.

1st gear = Time to check the phone.
The attitude seems to be "I can't go anywhere for a little bit, so I'll stop looking at my surroundings
until I can move again."

This is already illegal and largely unpunished, so giving them something else to completely ignore seems pretty pointless to me.

I've noticed over the last 34 years that more cars move out of my way than ever before. In fact some go so berserk that they end up clipping kerbs, I spend all my time saying 'Ta' as I go past. I think it has really started being like that since DAS came out in the 90s.

Christ Tony, at least come back on to defend your petition to spammed us with!

I have to say I really don't see the problem. A decent amount of road users fall over themselves to let motorcycles past. Why meddle with it?

All the petition will do is highlight the fact that lane splitting can be dangerous, and you know what, they'll just ban it.

At the moment the dozy drivers drivers help keep you aware as a biker and meaning most sensible bikers will ride slowly and safely between the cars able to stop with just the rear brake, and even if you still collide you are going slow and will minimise any damage to man or machine. If there is a large gap the 2 wheeled lunatic fringe will go barrelling through at silly speed and if a car does change lanes will.....well you know.

Even that aside, why should drivers allow us through? Are we somehow entitled? You get the odd areshole, but most folk are decent, keep the status quo for me.

Perhaps a better petition is for more advertising public awareness, where is this generations "think once, think twice, think bike!
