TEXTING IS QUICK & EASY.
MAKE THE EFFORT TODAY.
WE NEED THE AIR TIME WITH A
VICTORIAN ELECTION IN 7 WEEKS.
Last week on the DRIVE program on
ABC Radio 774 in Melbourne, presenter Rafael Epstien responded
to a caller who made the point that women with face coverings were allowed in
banks and other places but riders had to remove their hats.
Epstien indicated that he understood the banks ban
since criminals wearing helmets did so many bank robberies. It's a rubbish
statistic.
If you want to comment on this, or any other
motorbike issue, please text DRIVE on 0437
774 774.
Also on ABC Radio 774 is
the MORNINGS program hosted by Jon Faine. Faine is an X
motorcyclist and used to give riders a fair go on his show. Lately, when there
is a discussion on transport in this state we seem to hear from government
authorities, public transport users and bicyclists but rarely from motorcycle
& scooter riders.
Please send a text to MORNINGS on 0437 774 774.
Texting is easy and quick. Not all will get readout
on air but they do make a difference.

Re drive 3 Oct 14. I am sick
of the double standards applied to motorcyclist wearing a helmet into service
stations. Veils, burqa's, sunglasses & caps can be worn, but if I wear my
helmet I am often refused service. The person behind the counter is clearly not
intimidated as I have been forcefully told to remove my helmet and there is no
law compelling me to do so. I wear ear plugs that typically get dislodged and
are fiddly to re-insert and the helmet provides a level protection from fuel
blow back from my tank (different design than a car). When was the last time a
petrol station was robbed by a bike rider brandishing a credit card? This
craziness needs to stop.
