Motorcyclists Air Views On UK Transport System
Motorcyclists Air Views On UK Transport System
Road users were asked their opinion of the current state of the UK transport system in a recent report, which found that vehicle labour costs and snow related problems, featured high on the list of concerns.
Motorcyclists, car drivers, pedal cyclists and van and lorry drivers’ posts on popular forums were analysed on frequency, tone and sentimentality to identify hot topics of discussion by Motoring Matters.
While the increase in vehicle labour costs was at the top of the list, in second place was the concern over the new speed cameras set to launch in 2013, followed by the closure of the M4 bus lane, the extra devices wardens will receive, and apprehension over recent transport chaos caused by the snow.
The cost of getting a vehicle serviced has increased by about 5.81 percent in the last year while fuel duty, vehicle tax and congestion charges on top of this have caused the price of owning a motorbike or car to become more expensive than ever before.
A significant 80 percent were shown to be against the new speed camera launch as they claim their ability to monitor not only speed but tax discs, insurance cover and whether you are wearing a seat belt will make the UK more like a Big Brother State.
While concern over the way the UK dealt with the recent snow blast has left many to ask why the 3,300 gritters ready to prepare the roads did not treat them in time.
Halo Helmet Protection
If driving in the snow has been a problem for you this year and you are worried further cold weather may affect your riding, it is worth investing in a Halo Helmet for ultimate protection from head injuries.
A ThermaHelm helmet freezes the rider’s head when they have an accident so they are protected from brain swell immediately.
