The VicRoads/TAC/Police policy to discourage motorcycling, identified by the Parliamentary Road Safety Committee inquiry into motorcycle & scooter safety in the early 1990s, obviously survives in 2012.
This kind of vilification does nothing for road safety.
At a time when Victoria won't spend more on ambos, police, nurses and teachers the government needs to take a long hard look at this massive waste of our money.
I doubt the Motorcycle Advisory Group (MAG), or VMAC, at VicRoads was consulted on this ad. Even if they were, I doubt their input was taken seriously. Motorcycle & scooter advisory groups are treated as window dressing by Australian road authorities.
I'd appreciate road riders comments on this ad. I'll pass them on to the Premier, anonymously if you wish.
