Yes, yet another "safety improvement" by "experts" that is guaranteed to increase KSIs' overnight.

Motorcycle 'News'? Well, I think so. This might have been a story when the Transport Committee met back in February and the Plowden gave his 'evidence'.

But isn't this the 'evidence' that Ladyman said was 'Cobblers'?

I liked this bit:

"...advisors to the Slower Speeds Initiative..."

No prizes for guessing who pays their wages then!

I don't think this is the same as the "cobblers" stuff, for a start Ladyman has now gone. For another:
Quote:
Hillman and Plowden wrote to MPs in August demanding they insist Government look at limiting the power, weight and speed of motorcycles.



And:
Quote:
He said motorcycles consequently needed lower speed limits than cars, although enforcement difficulties made it impractical. “I would certainly veer on the side of lower speed limits,” he said.


It sounds like a return to the "speed limiter", as proposed some time in the past.
