We have introduced more questions in the driving theory test to increase awareness of vulnerable road users, including motorcyclists.
The issue needs to be addressed boldly, without penalising motorcyclists more than drivers of other categories just to ease our consciences.
It would have been fairer on the motorcyclists if they could get access to heavy motorcycles at the age of 21 instead of 24.
For example, as a society we compel motorcyclists to wear helmets, but we do not force people to be vaccinated against quite serious diseases.
The main difficulty is that the motorcyclists and the motor scooterists are a powerful lobby.
These road improvements must include a different design for current crash barriers, which are enormously unfriendly to cyclists and motorcyclists.
Invariably, most motorcyclists make use of car parking facilities or sheds where bicycles are secured.
However, we understand that there are also something like 340,000 to 390,000 motorcyclists who are holding provisional licences.
