Motorcycles

I had to do some digging for this one I have found being blinded from Motorcycles like all vehicles is becoming a regular occurrence. Weekends seemed to be the worst and the obvious dry days of the limited summer gives us each year,

Sadly I feel in my opinion the Government has got this wrong too and have been running a campaign to make sure Motorcyclists have bright lights day and night. This I found is just throwing another problem into the mix. Lights on these Motorcycles do help during the day but when it comes to the hours of darkness the headlights on these bikes are so good and often set incorrectly as to blind oncoming drivers. This problem is far worse when a pillion is carried and to adjust the headlight down is rarely used and why at weekends this is more prevalent. Especially on a country lane where many of these Motorcyclists die!

I quoted before 40% of all accidents happen in the hours of darkness well surprise I have found 65% of all deaths in England and Wales are from Motorcycles.

The scenario is as I am definitely being blinded by new lights on these during daylight hours when it comes to night time these bikes are as bad as cars and other vehicles and when they are coming down a lane you are not sure if it’s the one eyed monster which is the vehicle with only one headlight which confuses many of us. If I remember correctly Ealing council tried running a campaign without much success so we have the problem and can we deal with it. Blindedbixenon will try if our other is successful.

Our petition at Parliament at the moment is to revise the light act because of the dangers that the bixenon so please vote.

Let’s keep Motorcycles on the back burner as 65% is a huge amount to work on. The distress too many families and especially that of the rider who does not get to enjoy life.

Lives lost due to some very tiny adjustments and slightly inadequate training can be done if we are successful with our first e petition.
