Hi,
I'm doing some work with the government on motorcycle road safety and had a few quick questions I'm hoping you can help with.
  • What could car drivers do better to make the roads safer for motorcyclists?
  • Where do you get riding tips from, other riders, forums, government advertising?
  • List 5 words which would describe how you think car drivers see you?
  • How would you like them to see you?
  • What’s the best part about riding?
  • What’s the best part of the riding community?
  • If you could tell drivers 1 thing, what would it be?
If you're in Australia, is there anything specific you'd like to add about road safety here?
It'd be great if you can copy and paste the questions and answer underneath each one.
Thanks in advance.
Alex

    Check mirrors and blindspots before making a lane change

    Everywhere I can learn something good, I take it in - government advertising is probably the last place I would go to for advice on riding

    Awesome, annoying, dangerous, fast, asshole

  • What’s the best part about riding?

    The feeling of freedom - almost like you're flying, but you're still on the ground.

What could car drivers do better to make the roads safer for motorcyclists?

LOOK out of the windows !! I'm right there, another human being who has a life and a family just like you.

Where do you get riding tips from, other riders, forums, government advertising?

Mostly from what I have learned through experience and have been told by others, there's no better learning than the pain of getting it wrong.

List 5 words which would describe how you think car drivers see you?

Target, Idiot, Madman, Nuisance, Arrogant prick who does not have to stop in traffic.

How would you like them to see you?

As another human being who is having fun and enjoying their own choice in life

What’s the best part about riding?

Not being in the car, out in the open where the world really is, that feeling of freedom that only comes with getting it just right on your favourite bit of road, so many things really, you have to do it to feel it.

What’s the best part of the riding community?

Having a laugh and helping out younger riders who are brave enough to ask those daft questions, it's great to see more youngsters getting into riding and wanting to learn how to do it right.

If you could tell drivers 1 thing, what would it be?

HELLO I'm alive and right beside you, I have no wish to kill you please don't kill me !!!!!
