Motor cycle safety steward bids to cut ‘too fast’ accidents

A QUALIFIED motor cycle racing safety steward who is launching a pei-

lighting the potentially lethal problem of speeding. Mr Derek Knowles
(64), of Rimington, a former North-West chief
' scrutineer for motor cycle racing, has had a

report by Ben Carlish
reads: "Accidents involving speeding are not accidents at all. They are the result of someone's conscious act to
exceed the safe speed." Mr Knowles wants to
produce 1,000 similar poster to be distributed around motor cycle shops and biker haunts, to try to hit home the message here in the Kib ble Valley. While he has the moral support of Clitheroc Police's Inspector Les Mar tin, he needs to raise £450 to pay for the project. Mr Knowles commented:

riders arc unknowingly risk ing life and limb by using tyres inappropriate for highways, with no grip around the inner nearside of the tyre. Many of these tyres, sold deliberately, have the mark "Not for highway use" ground off the ruljber, believes Mr Knowles. Inspector Martin is back
