I'm no particular fan of the A2, A1, A bike licensing system, but I can understand the need for it, to stop new riders going out on machines that are too powerful for their skills and then finding out the hard way that they're not Valentino Rossi when they slam it into a tree.
Not really as the current system is only based on age. So if your 24 you can pass your test one day and then go out and jump on any 200+bhp bike the next. But if you are 23 then youd have to wait a year and take a retest... it's a shit system.[/quote]
Yes, it's not perfect, but people's attitude to risk does change as they grow up, so it's better than nothing.
Quote:As for electric vehicles, there are categories based on battery output so all they would need if a restriction to say a 12kw battery then a open to a 30kw etc etc
Ok, that's something I wasn't aware of and it makes it a bit better, although I don't know whether aftermarket "higher output" batteries would make an appearance...
