DD> When one rides a motorcycle, one is obliged to "look around".

Some people even look around when driving cars too. Like wow man.

DD> If one doesn't spot something when driving a car, one gets
DD> a bill from the panel beater. If one misses something when
DD> riding a bike, one doesn't get to make any more mistakes.

No great loss.

You're still just lucky. You'll see.

DD> A couple of years ago an elderly couple died in their stationary car
DD> in the street in Bribane.  A building wall fell on it.  If they'd had
DD> a motorcycle they would have been able to look up and see it happening.

Pathetic really. Talk about dumb as dogshit.

DD> Exceeding the speed limit does not cause accidents.

Sometimes it does.

DD> Inattention, vehicle defects, and plain lack of
DD> skill do (often due to being pissed) cause accidents.

Those too.

DD> Blanket speed limits are simply an easily enforced revenue raiser.

Fraid not. You might care to explain why we happen to have one of the
highest urban speed limits in the world if we wanted to raise revenue.
