Crash investigation outcomes.
#1





I've mentioned this a couple of times within other posts but no luck yet.


We are supposed to all learn from mistakes...both our own and others and it is good general industry practice for an investigation board to file reports on an incident.....a list of factors and the root cause is identified although usually individuals are not named...then lessons learned are listed and how the incident could have been avoided.


So of all of the bad crashes in Wales last year involving bikes i don't recall ever hearing the outcomes.


The mainstream media are somewhat biased and always report a bike crash with the finger tilting towards the biker....even if they don't say that it is at least inferred with their word choice & exclusion of certain facts........if it is cars involved then it is just a road incident although if a motorbike is involved then a big emphasis is made of the motorcycle.


I've recently come across a map which shows all the crash's but it just briefly lists the vehicles involved and where on the map....that is useless!.


Is there an official government accident report website where we can all view the crashes and what and who was really at fault?.........this would be most useful...much of which is no doubt harrowing.....but bikers aren't always without blame and it would be useful learn from the mistakes of others and come out a better rider......we all hear stories and are constantly told you shouldn't do this this & this but to actually read where this has been proven and from an official and impartial source is of the most benefit.


I also just read that road deaths have jumped in Wales......but injuries are down.......so the silly slow speed stuff is maybe gotten away with via modern safety and technology in vehicles and protection.........but perhaps the faster incidents are indeed much faster than in the past.....& no amount of safety features are helping......more folk are ending up pan bread.


Any ideas?
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
