Police have confirmed that only minor injuries have been sustained by the rider of a motorcycle after it crashed into a parked car in Cowes yesterday evening (Tuesday).
Officers from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary and paramedics from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service were called to the scene on Mill Hill Road at around 17:20.
The incident saw a motorbike collide with a parked vehicle near to the Duke of York pub.
Some motorcyclists needs to take a test.
Shocking
all the drivers on that island need to take a retest your all as bad
yeah all as bad as the drivers on the ‘big’ island…….. LOL
It’s not difficult to use the right your/you’re! You are…. You’re….
You need to take a test with a stupid comment like that .A moral test ,hope the motorcyclist is ok
What is “shocking”? Tell us all exactly what happened, because you were obviously there and saw the incident unfold in front of your eyes.
It may have been the rider’s fault – it may have been diesel, or similar, on the road leaving any rider helpless.
Tell us – or apologize to this rider.
Personally I don’t own or ride a Motorbike, but I do ride a bicycle at weekends.
I don’t cycle into parked vehicles I keep my distance.
Of course I hope he or she is well but I wish people would be more
Careful on Island Roads.
Many motorcycles I see are always speeding.
You’d be surprised, Paul the Builder, how many drivers should take a test again as well.
Like, for example, here in comments…

…there’s a guy called “Paul the Builder” moaning about cyclists riding two-abreast even though Highway Code says it’s perfectly legal AND has been many times explained to be safer.
Think you, Paul the Builder, should encourage that guy called Paul the Builder to retake the test!
I support you 100%!
