I was in the car today driving down one of our main roads, its sort of a 30mph duel carriageway (except one lane either side is a bus lane) and is separated by a central reservation, well anyway there were 2 kids on mopeds coming the opposite way who decided last minute to perform a U-turn by riding over the pedestrian crossing right in front of me! Then as I followed them down the road one of them actually got his phone out of his pocket and started to text while he was riding!! He was all over the road, frequently driftng in and out of the bus lane then when the upcoming traffic lights turned amber they both gunned it (with no hope of making them in time) and managed to run the light at a main junction a good 5 seconds after it had turn red ??
To top it all off they were both wearing trainers and tracksuit bottoms, some kind of puffer jacket type things and no gloves.
God forbid they had been hit by a car ... they wouldn't have stood a chance and worse some poor innocent driver would have had to deal with the guilt of disabling or possibly killing a 16 year old through no fault of their own.
Not only that their parents would have been the first one at the front of the lynch mob blaming car drivers for not looking out for bikers
I know the CBT system has it benefits but I honestly think its time they scrapped it and forced these young kids to do some kind of lessons/test before they are let loose on the road. 2 hours in a carpark the 3 hours on the road just seems like madness when you think about it ??
Likely to be without any sort of licence, tax, or insurance. Unlikely to take whatever form of test is in place. Ever. Part of the Lost Generation. No respect, for anyone, anything. But likely to breed.
