Imagine how much safer it will be with fuel tankers and delivery vans pouring in and out of the “Technology Park”!
Imagine how much safer it would be if people didn’t drive too close to the vehicle in front.
You’ve seen the new signs think bike maybe their trying to educate the wrong mode of transport
Think van!………………….

I always think van, when they drive up my ass…
My calculations show a %76.54 recurring chance that this was caused by a delivery driver.
My calculations show a 100% chance that this was caused by the motorbike rider.
You can’t say that for certain, the van might have pulled out infront of the biker.
My calculations indicate that 87.6% of comments that contain statistics have a 97.2% chance of being statistically incorrect, compared to the 23.1% that aren’t….or something.
If the bike went into the back of the van the rear doors must have been open or maybe the bike collided with the rear of the van!!
