Why have law if it cannot be enforced? – motorcycle trade

HAVING a law for trainee motorcyclists but being unable to enforce it effectively is unsatisfactory, a retailer has said.

Tim Millard (pictured) of Millard and Co Ltd was speaking after it emerged there was a four-month waiting list for compulsory basic training.

The delay has soared this year because of restrictions at the training site.

And Mr Millard is not alone. Duque’s Garage owner Ian Lavenne said the Environment Department and the Guernsey Motorcycle Training Scheme, which runs the CBT sessions, should ‘have their heads banged against a wall’ to sort out the problem.

    The theory part of this should be taught in school as a safety awareness programme to pupils. and the riding part of it should be scrapped if the states can’t come up with a system where people can do it on the day of there 14 birthday.

      Not a bad idea Matt

      I’m sure Carol Steere could secretly wangle it so that the theory part can be classed as a maths lesson,what with braking distances and all that malarky

      Et voila, every kid with a scooter will get an
      A – C grade in maths at the stroke of a pen … well two stroke anyway
