Motorbikes strain on the nhs

[john west]

motorbikes should be taxed 1000 pounds a year as they are a strain on the nhs just like smoking is taxed for this and alcohol etc

they burn more fuel than cars, but damage less pedestrians - factor that into your maths

[john west]

pedestrians should be on the pavement

That is offset by the fact that many moterbike riders will not live into old age when people get most use out of the NHS.

pedestrians should be on the pavement

so they're only allowed to walk round the block?

They're also the greater proportion of the NHS's organ donors...

Where are you getting your facts? What makes bikes as bigger strain as smoking and alcohol?

[john west]

they did a survey in the independant that 8 out of ten motorcyclists have been involved in an accident during there riding career resulting in hospital treatment put that in youre pipe and smoke it!!

Nowt dangerous about motorbikes, it's the riders who need educating. Defensive riding is the secret, car drivers just dont see bikers as they mess about with mobile phones, put on make up, read maps, chastise children etc. The same argument could be applied to sports as well, climbing, potholing, hang gliding, they all involve risk of injury and costs to the NHS.

the NHS sends bills to the drivers of vehicles involved in RTAs, so how are motorcyclists a strain?

 

If anything, their existence and their insurers ensure the hospital equipment is available to the rest of us when we need it
