G'day Richard.

I  don't  follow  your  logic. You think a law that may effect riders'
legal  standing  and  reduce compensation payouts is a great idea when
any  small  benefit  gained  from  hi  viz  clothing,  over hard-wired
headlights, is being gained voluntarily?

Front  number plates have no road safety benefit once you consider the
negatives of machines no designed to display them. FNPs are a grab for
cash  and  enabling  legislation so vehicles, eventually all vehicles,
can  be  tracked.  The  devices have already been tested on government
cars in Victoria.

Victoria Police were quoted in the Sunday Herald Sun C2010 saying that
they  wanted  front  ID  on  motorcycles  & scooters in the form of an
electronic tag for "intelligence gathering purposes".

Your reference to "the straight and narrow" implies that a lot of us are not on the straight and narrow. I find that mildly insulting.

As I said. I do not follow your logic.
