It would be of benefit if we all fill in this survey.

Re: Road Safety Strategy.
 
The Vicroads safety strategy, which the Herald Sun is promotng, refers to the Vicroads road safety strategy.
 
The details of the strategy are at this site: http://www.roadsafety.vic.gov.au/ which is where you'll find the public comment document:http://www.roadsafety.vic.gov.au/files/pdf/rss/GDS_09119_HAVE%20YOUR%20SAY_WEB.pdf that includes the 60% lack of FNP bullpoo stat, and it's also where they invite you to answer their highly biased survey found at: http://www.myviews.justice.vic.gov.au/
 
Now the interesting thing is that they are taking submissions which are due by Oct 3rd which is NOT much time.
 
We (VMC) are going to cut and paste elements from the VMC's Inquiry submission and the NTC road rules submission, and include some blistering stuff about FNP's (and will probably include the whole Camera Commissioner letters as an appendix).
 
We would strongly encourage you folks to encourage your networks to submit stuff or do the survey with your own pro motorcycle biases guiding your answers. Ulysses and BMW club may wish to consider a substantive submission of their own.
 
United we stand,  ....................
 
 
Thank you,

For the slow ones like me - FNP is Front Number Plate, so part of the constant push to have front plates on motorcycles on a "same as I have to for a car" bias.
