  • wouldn't you says that a poorly driven motorcycles pose more danger than a poorly driven cyclist? (to other road user/peds).

    To a pedestrian ( if hit) then yes, to a car too ( more dent in the bonnet i guess )

    But a cycle poses as much threat to a morobike as the other way round.

    If you're riding a moto at a speed, and hit a cyclist who just came out of traffic without looking , then you will injure the cyclist, yeah, but you're gonna scrape half of your body too sliding down the tarmac and break a few bones when you're being catapulted out of the bike.

    The speed you have will work against you , not only against the cyclist you hit.

    fair enough, if a bicycle hits another one then often it will be less damage, but maybe this makes people less careful ? i have been ridden into by cyclists ( and cars, fair enough ) so much more often than motos.

    I'm not taking any sides here, but you're gonna get idiots anywhere doing stupid things on the road . When a ginger haired pedestrian runs into me should i start slagging off all ginger ? or white ? idiot is an idiot.
