North Wales Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom's blog - "dreadful driving exhibited by so many motorcyclists"

Motor Cycle News this week reports again on the blog of the Chief Constable of North Wales - Richard Brunstrom with the headline "Brunstrom's blog slams bikers".
You can read Brunstrom's blog entry at:-

Earlier this year Richard Brunstrom suggested motorcycles should be banned from all National Parks and now he uses the actions of two bikers to suggest in his words "Anyone who ventures onto the roads of the UK will be aware of the quite dreadful driving exhibited by so many motorcyclists - dangerous to the point of recklessness for their own lives and for those of other road users."

Yes the action of the two motorcyclists featured in the blog and on the video clip features do show a number of undertakes and use of the hard shoulder, but are they a justification for such anti-biking comments.

Is it right that a public servant should use his position to attempt to denigrate motorcyclists based on the actions of a minority. In most sphere's life there are those that choose to flout the law, but that does not mean we are all law breakers!

What do you think? You can tell Mr Brunstrom what you think, by visting his blog and leaving your own comments.

Ride safe!
