Following the high profile article in BIKE magazine (September 2004 coverdate, see: http://www.smidsy.org.uk) and our two joint press releases with BIKE:

http://www.safespeed.org.uk/pr134.html and

The story has been published widely including:

It's been in AutoExpress too, but I never found it on line, except this:

Believe it or not, it was also mentioned in the August edition of the roadsafe newsletter, and even includes a link to the safespeed website! See the news page from www.roadsafe.com for details.

I think this needs to be aired here for all doubters to see, a clear representation of Pauls Motives from "those in the know"

[quote]An article published in the September issue of BIKE magazine asserts that windscreen pillars obstructing a driver’s vision are likely to be a major factor in road accidents.

Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign, has joined forces with the editorial team of Britain’s best selling motorcycling monthly magazine to highlight this serious, but largely unrecognised safety problem.
