Here comes the final straw

The Bear - Thursday, February 18, 2010
How long are we going to put up with this?

The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads has tender number RSSM0610 out for the “Investigation of Zero Blood Alcohol Concentration for all Motorcycle Riders in Queensland”.

It is to “Provide research services to inform the development of government policy in relation to possible road safety benefits of introducing a reduced general limit (as defined in s.79A Transport Operations Road Use Management Act 1995) or zero blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for all motorcycle riders.”

I don’t think it is really necessary for me to go into details why this is a totally unacceptable project. Resons include punishing the victims, loss of civil liberties and so on and so on.

Let me just say this: if you put up with this, you deserve everything the bureaucrats hand out to you.

Stand up for yourselves, Queenslanders, as the Taswegians stood up for themselves when the government tried to impose a “safety” levy down there. Unlike the supine Victorians, who copped it. Stand up for yourselves and insist on being treated like adults, and like everyone else on the road.

Or suffer the consequences.
