Surely not another L Plate moped!
why do you judge everyone?
I don’t judge everyone it is just what I see every day when
driving on island roads.
There are hardly any bikes going around without
L plates on them.
DO THESE RIDERS NEVER TAKE A TEST.
I WOULDN’T ALLOW ANYONE TO BE ON THE ROAD
UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY QUALIFIED
I have no isdea if this accident was a rider with an
L plate.
The same can be said for motorists
Texting and driving whilst on the phone is RIFE
I always look in my rearview mirror, what one sees is shocking.
Points on licences should also be given for such crimes.
I hope you are driving at 20mph as you insist everyone should !!
I do where it states 20mph.
If the island rolled out 20mph islandwide I would
be happy to comply and with decent Camera’s
like Lord Sir Sadiq Khan has in London
so will everyone else comply.
Bring on 20mph islandwide. It saves lives and
reduces pollution.
Also there is no Pavement parking in Khan’s London
If you like London so much, why don’t you bugger off there?
How the bloody hell can they get qualified for the roads if they are not allowed on them to get experience, you plank.
