Riders not the sole cause of motorcycle accidents


I REFER to the letter “Motorcycles and road safety” by George Thomas (The Star, Sept 3). It would appear that the writer has little or no motorcycling experience nor does he seem to have much idea as to the effective measures needed to reduce the motorcycle road accident toll.

He implies that there should be mandated restrictions on the number and type of motorcycles. Malaysia needs as many motorcycles of a size and type as people choose to buy, not some arbitrary restrictions. The logical extrapolation of that idea is to reduce motorcycle accidents to zero by banning motorcycles altogether!
