i've heard of this before but cant see it ever taking off tbh!

speaking there about relaying a message through the helmet and seat, who is going to be expected to convert all the bikes on the roads?

imagine overtaking a slow moving vehicle and your throttle is shut

Black boxes norwich union use know your speed and where you are etc. although due to human rights legistlation it's not allowed to be used to prosecute.

Didnt actually read the article at first but I cant see that happenening as it would be dangerous. Surely if it could cause you to fall off?

The Transport Department last night insisted Mr Ladyman is unlikely to make the ISA bike compulsory.

Aye can you imagine? You're on the motorway, having overtaken a couple of times. You get behind a truck doing 60 so you go round him, accelerating to 80mph. As you pull back in front of him your bike cuts out....

You can guess the rest
