Gay-sot 2...............the return!!!!!!!
Okay what are the practical solutions riders can offer (and HAVE offered to the government already......to no avail!!!)
Well, many solutions are available to prevent the loss of LIVES!!!!
Most of them do cost money, but what's money compare to the life of an individual, when you know how much tax payers have to pay yearly in France, and how this money is wasted in useless ways (weapons for example!).
Here are a few....
- Emphasize the training of riders AND drivers!!!
If the motorbike licence is one of the hardest to get in Europe, the car licence is practically given! (we have to sell our French cars u see...!!!) The result of this is accidents, because some young riders will not control their bikes in emergency situations, car drivers are not aware of other road users and cannot assess the performance gap between the different types of vehicules. I think some advanced driving courses should be mandatory every so often for riders, to keep them aware and to provide new skills, while the car licence has to be harder to get, with a tougher exam which will teach drivers how to SHARE the road, and explain them that mobile phones are not to be used while driving, and that the mirror placed above your head is not there to help our ladies friends put their make-up on! sorry!
- Modifying some of the road structures:
How many death are caused by road markings??? MANY!
"Horizontal" marking is very useful, (u know, the white paint lines on the ground!!), BUT, they are slippery in wet weather.....why!? because the paint used is NOT appropriate.
A rugous paint exists, this paint is great and actually provide more grip than the tarmac when it rains, so why don't we use it !? Because 1 liter of that paint is a bit more expensive to produce, so we prefer seeing people dying instead...
Some back roads (u know, the ones with the twisties!) are in a desperate shape, when more and more motorways are built!!! Common lads, cut the crap. why don't we inject a bit of that money for the secondary network (national roads etc..), cut on the motorways which ruin the looks of the environment as well. (And I'm not even mentioning that the motorways in france are fee based....hmmm would that be the reason why we build so many of them hu???)
- And this one annoys the shit out of me!!!
Nothing annoys me more, than these cops hiding behind their radars, scanners and the rest of their money making gadgets!!!
All police departments have quotas to reach at the end of each months, so when you need a bit of money, well, you get into your cop shoebox, drive down at the bottom of a hill, hide (not supposed to by law but.....they ARE the law aren't they!?), and get your speed gun out.....it works all the time! the quotas are reached!!!!
and this is to prevent accidents!?!?!? hello!!!
Motoring is one of the best source of revenue for France, the fuel is very highly taxed, the road tax are increasingly big, the roads are fee based etc....
why would a government change this for a better road accidents statistic??? and then they dare talking about policies to reduce the amount of people dying each year on the roads of our "douce France"!!!!!!!
