The petition doesn't state age at any point
I have signed itAround here (mid Wales) you can take a pass+ lesson so that your instructor will take you to a dual carriageway and show you the ropes as there are none around here. I think that should be compulsory and the 'P' plate indicating that you passed recently so we can all see who you are.I see the arguments above about insurance being a limiting factor but as I feel that further training for bikers (bikesafe, IAM, ROSPA) should be compulsory for bikers- for their own safety, I think the same should apply to new drivers- I say new as not all drivers who just passed their test are 17- my wife didnt pass her test till she was about 40I think some of the problem might be (for youngsters) that their artillery barrel exhaust on a Corsa and sound system up full and arm out the window means they are not concentrating on the road and cant here other road users.... now a limit on overall noise (sound and exhaust) like bikers are limited- would be a good cause
You'll notice my low post count, it literally should be in the thousands but every time i conjure up a responce l reread my post and realise: Christ l'd get chucked out this place.
