Dear Editor,
Laws are made in the best interest of a country. Also as life progresses and existing laws are 'outdated', a transition period can be used (or not) to alter or get rid of that/those law(s).
In view of and because it seems as if government can't do anything about the irresponsible behaviour of motorbike riders I would like to suggest the following. I will start by hoping that in one way or the other government have control on the import of every suggested to be imported vehicle.
So here we go. There is not much more that can be done to enhance the road infrastructure in order to avoid traffic congestion.
Limit the import of all motor vehicles. I have suggested this in the past and someone who went to the airport over the weekend told me that motorworld is laughing at me because they openly selling old and new cars in everybody face. I told him to tell this to the Prime Minister because he talked about the traffic congestion and motorworld seems to be laughing in his face.
To get back to my suggestion. Change the traffic rules where it concerns motorvehicles on two and three wheels. Forbid the use and import of motorbikes, replace them with already existing two and three wheels vehicles driven by battery, with a maximum speed. This will also get rid of noise pollution and be fair to motorvehicles owners whose motorvehicles are obliged to have mufflers.
Also having an understanding with the French authorities. Because as things are going now with those motorbike riders it seems as if government is encouraging whatever those motorbike riders are doing in broad daylight. A lady in the bank told me that "Two wrongs don't make a right, because those cars with black tint cause more disruption to the traffic than the motorbikes.
At least you can see the motorbike, but you can't see the driver of a car with black tint. Along with that you don't know what is brakelights or indicators. They flash their lights at you. You can't see the driver and you do not know what to do".
I can go on and on but I believe that by this I have made my contribution to save lives and also avoid a bigger gap between old and young.
