Reckless motorbikers must not be let off easily


AS a motorist, I am very shocked that no claims can be made against a motorcyclist in the event of an accident. According to the writer of the letter “Rude shock for motorist” (The Star, Sept 30), he was informed by a police sergeant that in any accident involving a motorcyclist and a bigger vehicle, no claim can be made against the motorcyclist.

It does not seem right because all motorised vehicles including motorcycles are required by law to have a valid insurance coverage in order to be issued with a road tax. What is the purpose of the insurance coverage if no claims can be made?
