Politicians are, consciously and deliberately, cynically making it harder and harder to ride a motorcycle. The harder they make it, the fewer people become motorcyclists. The fewer motorcyclists on the road, the lower the motorcycle accident statistics. The lower the motorcycle accident statistics, the easier it is for the politicians to point to them and say "Look what I did! Promote me!"
I am amazed so many people here and elsewhere are so ready to believe that all this legislation is driven by a genuine and uncomplicated desire to increase safety.
Not only that, I am amazed at the number of people willing to collaborate in this charade.
This shouldn't surprise you or anyone. It has been going on since Politics was invented!
