Petition: TAC Victoria: Get real about rider safety

[Betty]

Oooohh an article in the mainstream press criticising the ad:

Car drivers are allowed to kill and injure riders and get off relatively penalty free and this "Safety" ad supports this premise!! 

Been riding 40+ plus years and nothing has changed!!

It seems like the ad is coming true.

Condolences to the riders family. Far too young.

Thanks for posting that link. It's a great article and absolutely spot on.

Everyone should have a read.

geez I'd love 5 minutes alone with the people who signed off on the TAC campaign....I just hope that one of them, one day, puts a leg over a bike (of any kind) and realises what they have done.

The Australian government and it's offices are a constant source of disappointment.

The fella who's running the petition is also collecting survey data for a meeting he's having with the TAC.

Survey here if you would like to participate: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fif.vg%2Ftac&h=JAQHPFGub

Hope that works.

Heh! Spider, take a number, the line forms at the right!! 

It is my experience that 99% of the cretins that formulate these strategies have the required Education and letters after their names but have very little or NO practical experience and/or knowledge on the subject!!
