    May be of some interest


    Taken from another forum
    Worth a fill in I think. Why can't EU bureaucrats just fk off. We know it's not as safe as cars, it's why we like it.

    Hello

    In association with the EU Regulation into Type Approval and all the new
    electrikery being proposed by those who believe they know better than
    someone who actually rides, a survey has been launched which runs until
    15th May.

    https://www.soscisurvey.de/2BeSafe_en/

    There are about 40 questions, but I really urge you to persevere.

    Interestingly many of the questions are phrased in such a way as to
    establish most riders as habitual law breakers and I urge you to read
    them carefully.

    Others have an introductory scenario to set the scene where electronics
    would obviously help- like the one where opening and closing the
    throttle is done automatically to keep you a certain distance from the
    car infront.

    Everything is included here: compulsory ABS and traction control, curve
    speed control, a system to stop lane splitting, heads up displays, and
    it's interspersed with questions which blur motorcycling with irrational
    road use.
    How often do you undertake, or ride on a pavement? what about the wrong
    way down a one way street and do you not bother with road laws because
    they are complicated?

    I urge you to complete this survey as this will make a difference to the
    justification used for foisting more controls upon us.
    Please spend the time and forward the link to anyone you know who rides.

    Thanks and remember we only have until 15th May.

    I am for electronics in some ways but it should be our choice not forced on us.
    Off to have a look at the link now.

    Bloomin heck some of those questions were very leading some were very one sided!
