You could be right? However, the pessimistic side of me is worried by the large numbers of inexperienced people jumping straight on scooters with minimal training, riding in big cities like London and becoming accident statistics. As we all know the government, and more so the EU, use/twist these statistics to their advantage and use them as their first line of attack when out to clobber motorcycling with new laws and directives.
