  Andy, what is needed is action to educate motorists and bikers alike. Legislation and reducing speed limits is last thing needed as the changes in Alkham Valley show. Speed limit signs everywhere you look and everyone ignoring them because they either aren't realistic for the road or, like the flashing signs in Alkham, ignored even by the locals.
  
  I was involved in a head-on crash by Bushy Ruff about 3 weeks ago. The speed was within the prescribed limit, and the damage to vehicles huge. Luckily my daughter, who was driving, was able to take a very small evasivve action which I think saved our lives. The real cause was someone driving who was probably too old to be at the wheel.
  
  However, the car in the seafront crash appears to have been pulling into the path of the bike and probably not even doing 15mph, so a reduction in speed limit wouldn't have made any difference to the outcome. Car v bike = only one winner, sadly for bikers.
  
  Education is the answer.
