Petition Mandatory CBT with 1 year on the road riding a small engine motorcycle
More details
There is an ever increasing number of accidents caused by car drivers failing to see, and thus hitting motorcyclists and cyclists.
You can educate drivers as much as you want, but what would really help is if everyone did some time on 2 wheels. Speaking to friends I find that most car drivers simply don't know "how" to look for bikes.
Being on a bike would greatly increase the amount of empathy for motorcyclists/cyclists, awareness, and general understanding.
Also, small engine motorcycles produce far less emissions than cars, and it would prevent young and inexperienced drivers crashing and killing all of their friends in accidents in cars - they would gain experience on the road on a motorcycle.
