London Motorcycle Action Plan

I know this is mainly for london but there are some interesting statistics on collisions, age, fatalities etc.

I read it through. Basically it does not address anything for motorbikes in London.

There should have been stuff on parking. The is nothing that compels councils to provide extra parking, or suggests that rules should be changed to allow motorbikes more parking.

No mention of motorbikes having full, unrestricted use of bus lanes. (At the moment the only bus lanes we can use are those looked after by the Highways Agency).

No provision for motorbikes to use the area reserved for cyclists at traffic lights. (A lot of cyclists don't use them either as they ignore the traffic lights!).

Basically what the report concluded was that if you ride fast in London you have a greater chance of getting killed or injured!

The 29 recommendations will have no impact on 90% of motorcyclists in London.

It was a complete waste of money!

There's a semi-healthy debate about it here.
