I see this kind of utter stupidity daily.

 

Grown numb to it now and I can't comment further as it will be in contravention of forum rules.

Maybe its time to also make sure the motorcycle parkings are a bit bigger. Because its always hard to park them while cars get far more room. Time to change that too and make some more motorcycle friendly rules.

you want to solve the air pollution on of the steps that helps is when have to removed the motorcycles out of the traffic as you see now happening in the west. they also say that one  motor cycles pollutes more the a car does. 

 

bicycles instead of motorbikes will add to the air quality improvements. making specials bicycle lanes and change all in favor of bicycles works as we see on many places around the world 

 

beside that also the tires and breaking cause a lot of small particles and some say it is up o 50% of the total small particles caused by the wear of tires and breaks

Surprised there are not far more motorbikes than that. Now add no driver training, zero spatial awareness, entering roads from side streets without turning your head, no lights, no signals, children riding and that's without the real mitigating factors like speeding , drugs and alcohol. Oh and on the car side add all that and being allowed to go straight from a 150cc scooter to driving a car if you can afford one with zero accountability plus all the aforementioned things.

No way that 1 motorcycle polutes more then a car. That is impossible given the difference in fuel consumption. Next time think it out before you post. Motorcycle easily 3 times more fuel efficient. So unless the engine is 3 times as bad. The current fuel injected 4 stroke (almost all models) are much better then cars emission wise. Next time do a bit more research..

 

I am not even going to fact check the rest of your facts

Where are the stats and research that shows that it's mostly car drivers who kill motorcycle riders, and what percentage of motorcycle riders deaths can be contributed directly to their actions?

My wondering as well.  I would say 90% of motorcycles also cause the accidents, from my 25 years experience driving here and being surrounded by little 'boys' of all ages having fun on their 'toys' out in the streets.

Good idea except for the 9 months a year it is over 100 degrees and over 80% humidity all freaking day long.
