You know what doctors calls motorcyklists?
Donors.
They should just ban motorcyklists from the road
If it also makes traffic safer, that's a nice bonus.
At least you need to learn to drive to be legally driving a car
Pfft *falls of chair laughing*
Bikes/Moped's shouldn't even be allowed to weave through traffic imo
why, proove me otherwise (based on UK law ofc)
Have you seen the morons on the roads?
Have you noticed that ANYONE gets a drivers license?
You just need to "learn" to drive to get a card. Which basically means "gas, break, steer".
No it wont, they will just speed down the bus lane and cut through traffic at the end
Bikes/Moped's shouldn't even be allowed to weave through traffic imo, any moron can get a provisional and be a danger to the rest of us

You need a license for a bike too.
And don't go judging my views by comparing them to your "ultimately right ones".
i am ultimately right, there is no if or maybe
it is a FACT you need to pass a test to drive a car
it is a FACT you do not need to pass any test to get on a bike as you can do it under a provisional
Opinion has fuck all to do with this, which is why your views hold no weight as a responce to my post
Do you have a licence? I find that most of the people who moan about the drivers on the road are people who cant drive themselves.
The worst passengers i, or my other driver mates, have are people who cant drive as they dont realise that you know exactly how much space you have on the nearside. May look tight for them as they are on that side but we know fine
Furthermore your example of a truck driver is also flawed, they have to do even more test with even more regulation and suffer bigger penalties for being incompetant
To be quite frank i doubt you have a liscence if you think passing a driving test is just "gas, break, steer"
Whereas getting a provisional for a bike is very nearly just "gas, break, steer"
i am ultimately right, there is no if or maybe
it is a FACT you need to pass a test to drive a car
it is a FACT you do not need to pass any test to get on a bike as you can do it under a provisional
Which means by default a driver of a car who has passed a test (which in the uk at least is pretty strict nowdays as you have to do a theroy, hazard perception and a practical test on real roads) on average is better than one who hasn't

No i don't own a license, but i neither complain about drivers.
I just know FOR A FACT(as Chronictank would say), about the morons that sometimes get behind the wheel.
Why are you mixing in bikes and mopeds into the discussion?
I wasnt meaning that in a bad way btw. Or in any way trying to flame.
someone driving a lorry is not likely to be a moron, considering it will be their livelyhood.

why?
why would you act like a moron if it would lose you your job?
People think too much in "exacts" in the internet.
You say, "some lorry drivers can be a-holes" and out come the "my dads a lorry driver and he'll kick your arse for saying that!"
To Chronictank, to simplify the point; yes, you need a lisence to drive a car, but you don't need to know how to drive a car to get a lisence, in all cases.
You just need to pass.
this is why the "pfft" was for.

Again you take it anally strict and completely ignore what i'm saying.
I'm not saying it's "jsut gas break steer", just that since there's thousands and thousands of driving schools and instructors, people get through if they want. And anyone can behave for a day. You make it sound like there's no morons behind the wheels of a car. AND AS SUCH, a moron behind a truck is worse then a moron behind a bike.
Hardly, a driver who has passed a test is more competant than one who hasn't on average. That has everything to do with the 'amount of danger' they can cause because a competant person who can deal with a situation is far safer than one who can't/doesn't know howYou're trying to argue my point of "amount of danger", which i claimed you were flawed on, with some legal mumbojumbo that has nothing to do with it. Not to mention basing that "you don't drive, you don't know", which is simply bullcrap.
This was not the point, but taken too literally again.
That's right, lorry drivers need more this and that, but i was talking about the moron car drivers. Moronic and roadraged lorrydrivers etc.
I'd take a guy with no bike license, any day over one of those.
A guy who can't ride a bike, can hurt himself and maybe one more.
A guy who can't ride a car, can hurt a whole lotta more.
You guys need to explain. Why are you mixing in bikes and mopeds into the discussion? The question in the poll specifically asks if you think "motorcyclists" should be allowed in the bus lane. Not bikes. Not mopeds. Of course the latter two shouldn't be allowed there - they aren't allowed on the car traffic roads at all, are they? Or are things different in England?
