The next day I had an accident that was close to being a fatality. I had less than three hours riding time in my lessons and was deemed competent. Yet the next day I was nearly dead. For this reason I am signing this petition. Minimum hours experience would save lives. I had ridden from Brisbane to Ipswich that day. Travelling at high speeds on day one was also risky. Perhaps limit speed for recently licenced persons.

One can learn basic control of the bike in this time, but it is the skill of roadcraft that keeps one safe and alive. 25 hours of progressive courses is an excellent idea, and will help many learners to come. The growing popularity of 2 wheels makes this a pressing issue

I also believe we need to protect people new to riding and teach them more thoroughly, I myself though the LAMS course could have had more in it.

Simple statistics will show the negative effect QRide has had on rider safety.

The Q-ride system is far too easy and i feel some riders graduating are nowhere near competent enough to allow them to purchase and operate large capacity bikes on the roads. Qld should adopt the LAMS system as used in NSW and revert back to the earlier licensing system (i.e. tesing done by qualified testers through the D.O.T.)

I have reservations about a few details (aired on svdownunder.com), but nevertheless strongly agree on the principle of a required change in the interests of new-rider safety.

Training over a 12 month period is a sensible idea that will reap great benefits.

The idea of giving open class licenses to new riders is ridiculous at best ... restrict new riders to appropriate machinery. I agree with all points in this letter except the hours log book ... unecessary if the new rider is properly trained.

Incentives in the way of possible subsidy of costs of advance training should also be included for consideration.

Rider training should not be left with retailers, for the reasons above

These are clever people who are generally quick on the uptake. I believe these people would have taken home more than most from any course and still they fall well short of the basics to safely ride a motorcycle.

Getting a riders licence in ALL states in AUS is too easy. New riders are getting rubber stamped into situations they are not equipped to handle, and many of them are dying as a result.

It was the money hungry who petitioned this through the MTAQ, now do the right thing and save lives, not just apply more laws to something that never worked from day one. Also, have an open independent inquiry into the whole thing so names can be named and show who really caused the deaths of innocent people. Proper education, not not the Mr Bean teachings going on now.
