To motorcycle & scooter riders.
Publicity is cumulative. It builds up. In the lead
up to the Victorian election we need more publicity and letters to editors are
an easy way to get publicity.
The attached letters are from Lawyer John Voyage
from Maurice Blackburn and me.
John's letter is important. TAC spends great wads
of our premiums and taxes. In my opinion too much goes on Hollywood ads and
trips for officials. This may be because the TAC Board is unbalanced. There are
only administrators and financiers on there. There is no one with any expertise
in road safety or transport let alone a solid knowledge of motorcycle &
scooter riding in traffic.
My letter addresses the woefully poor advice the
Victorian Roads Minister gets on matters motorcycling. Examples include the
advice that 3 riders died traffic filtering, which had no basis in fact at all,
and that the lights-on law was needed so that learner riders would not switch
their headlights off in daylight ... what!!!
Anyway, we got a couple of letter printed today.
Now it's your turn. Get on to your local media, ask for a journo and tell
him/her what you think the government should do to improve conditions for
motorcycle & scooter riders.
