You cant really go off accidents to judge a driver. you could have ten. and none of them your faultwould you be a bad driver?.you could cause ten and still claim to be accident free!. I agree with the satalites though. either that or average cameras .

How do you know if people dont need a test? They would have to take one to find out right !!! No! - You know it by them not having accidents. 
Isn't it odd that few appear to mind imposing compulsory this or that on others in the name of 'safety', yet no one wants to own a vehicle that is capable of no more than the national speed limit? Remember kiddies - Speed kills!
If you owned a vehicle that was capable of the national speed limit? on what road? dual carridgeway , or a 60 limit, You could still do 70 past a school and kill someone!! Its the driver that speeds! I passed my test in 1977, it was a lot different then. no theory, or hazzard p, and lots of changes. When i did the adi trainning i realised how much i did not know about driving. Scary

Hmmmm.... you're never too experienced to learn from someone with less experience eh? That's one from the 'Let's teach father how to fuck' school of thinking there Tex. To keep up with the highway code you only need to read one. I can understand medicals or eyesight tests but not what's being suggested. Are you up for the governed 70mph maximum on all vehicles idea too? I bet I can make a better case for that than you can for testing people who don't need it.
I did not say test, - - How many people read the highway code after they pass there test! Im not for the 70mph, but like you say there is good argument for it. How do you know if people dont need a test? They would have to take one to find out right !!!

Why retest someone that has never had an accident? Because when someone is in control of a couple of tonnes of metal moving at 70mph or more, it's nice to know that their skills are up to date!
That's just intrusive, more nanny state ideas we could do without. Target and educate those that need it, and leave alone those whose records show they don't. Were there anything wrong with their skills they'd be highlighted by points on their license or the accident records of insurers.
I think it would be good to have compulsory10 lessons and a assesment every 5 years, 'Compulsory?' <shudder> You don't happen to be a driving instructor by any chance? Would all these lessons be FOC then? And the subjects compelled to take them regardless of an exemplary driving record? You guys kill me.
Lol, What makes you think that .!! It would solve half the unemployment problem !! It would keep people up to date with the highway code, and changes to driving laws, even with exemplary driving record, you are never to old or wise to learn!

I think it would be good to have compulsory10 lessons and a assesment every 5 years, if you pass the asesment you get cheaper insurance. I dont think retests would work. Most people know how they should drive, but as soon as you get a bit of traffic, or they are late for somthing the rules go out the window.

Got to agree with above posts, i think the fazer still looks good. not to modern or plastic, a bit retro aswell, fast enough for most, and a very good forum, i would not do half the mods or servicing without the help of here.

Most are just out to get as much money out of you as they can, I recently moved, it cost £35 for the bike, and £44 for the car, Any little change they will charge you. The big question is when you come to claim , they will try to wiggle out somehow, ie any undisclosed extras on the bike. Insurance is only good to keep the old bill happy on there anprs.

Thanks for the quick replys, I am going for the revalve and spring and seals, as the forks were a ebay purchase, the seller did say he had put new seals on , but you never can be sure, plus they only cost me £40, so i dont mind spending a bit more on them, i would rather know its done properly, as it is a pretty vital part of the bike  . If it were just the seals and oil i would still use them, when you way up the price, verses the hasle and tool and parts price. Cable i will use firefox, mcyoungy, i think they will check the bushes when they take them apart.kebab thanks for the info. Tex

I think she was just looking to the right, she never checked to the left and pulled out,a common fault, could have been a car on her side of the road overtaking , or a person crossing the road, Just goes to show, a high vis and lights makes no difference. She was so casual about it as well.
