Lisa Shaw Interesting article by Zoltan Kovacs in the Opinion section of last Saturday's West.. In an editorial about gay marriage, he talked about how far we've come (as well we should have) and how we're finally making progress in officially recognising (so-called) "same-sex couples"; and he pointed out the fact that you can't deny a whole section of society the right to be married; then turn around and set up a system where entitlements to do with superannuation, tax and social security can often be determined by marital status..]]> Do you agree?

Ian Blackley www.mix.com.au You may have heard there's talk about banning 'P' platers from driving powerful cars. Have a look at page 7 of the West Tuesday Aug 26. Let's just say, if you're going to do it whoever you are, just for a change....do it properly!]]> they just don't get it even after more than 25 years. Why? Because all the motorcycle manufacturers did is design and build 250cc bikes that could do 200kph. Technology will always outflank weak legislation unless it's thought through properly. The only way technology can't get ahead is if the limitations are not on the model or capacity of the bike or car, but on it's power to weight ratio. There could be no excuses either if every year as the rego renewal was sent out it stated whether this vehicle was a 'P plate friendly' vehicle or not. Bit of homework, but that's always involved if you intend to do things properly. As for the statement that no link has ever been established between the power of a car and accidents and the road toll. Well, if there was no link between power and accidents and the road toll what are we doing with a 250cc capacity on motorcycles for the first year? Car drivers don't lose control of powerful vehicles? Rubbish! Of course they do! If anyone in their right mind stands up and says there is no difference between Johnny from Joondalup driving a Hyundai Excel and an HSV ute they need to book themselves into the nearest mental health facility for a major work over. (It's called common sense, something our legislators and committee members tend to get along without most of their public funded lives) The power to weight ratio restrictions would also, when it comes to motorcycles, free up the buyer to ride other models that are up to 500cc's in capacity that would be just as safe and in some circumstances safer than high performance 250cc machines. Whether it's Labor / Liberal / The Greens or the Party for the Salvation of old Eagles Beanies, whoever you are......If you're going to do it....do it properly and don't waste our money, time and young peoples lives. (By the way if you're wondering. I've worked in the motorcycle industry, owned 29 large capacity motorcycles, had a licence for more than 33 years, ridden across Australia and back many times and written on and tested cars and motorcycles for mediums including TV.)]]> tag:blogs.mix.com.au,2008:/mix945//2.204 2008-08-27T19:03:46Z 2008-09-01T20:36:35Z
