MOTOR CYCLES BARK SMART NOTTS WIN ABERDEEN RESERVOIR
AND BITE.“
MORE DEADLY TO THE RIDERS.
Loudon, July 12, "Perhaps the most tangerous vehicle in existence," said Vis- count Brentford-still better re- membered as "Jix" when refer- ring to the motor cycle at a recent luncheon of the National Safety First Association.
Protests by the Royal Automo- bile Club. followed, and in a reply Lord Brentford admits that:
"It might be claimed that, from the point of view of the pedes- trian, the motor-cycle's bark is worse than its bite!"
The Secretary of the RAC pointed out that: "Calculated from the registrations of all motor vehicles current at September 30, 1928, it is found that motor-cycles constitute 35 per cent. of the loial accidents; whereas of the ac- cidents involving death or injury, only 31.7 per cent, are attributed to motor-cycles.
Safe Side-Cars.
Lord Brentford replied:
"I have had an examination made of the accident figures for 1928, and some interesting pointa
emerge.
"One is the comparative free dom fram accidents enjoyed by mator-eyeles with sidecars.
"As regards solo motor-cycles, including those with pillion pas sengers, I find that the total num- ber of casualties attributed to them is higher in proportion than the average figure for all motor vehicles, and between 35 per cent. and 40 per cent, higher than the figure for private cars and taxicabs, "The figures show that a high proportion of the accidents a tributable to motor-cycles involve death or injury to the riders them selves or their pussengers,
The damage done by motor. cyclists to pedestrians is, I agree. lower than that done by any other group of vehicles,"
According to Mr. Leonard W. Matters, writing from the House of Commons, the 690,672 motor eveles heensed in 1928 were in volved in 1,673 fatal accidents. In the same year 308,229 vans, omnibuses and other heavy vehti- cles were involved in 2,032 ac- cidents,
