I've always wanted to see the statistics on motorcycle accidents minus all of the cases where the rider was doing something blatantly illegal and/or stupid. I'd bet simply riding a motorcycle is not nearly as dangerous as you'd think just looking at the raw numbers.

The trouble is, if you're the one on the bike, you'll be the one who comes off worse in a collision with a car, whether it's your fault or not. People on bikes get injured more often when car drivers are being stupid, careless, or just not being observant.
Also, a bike has far less traction and weight than a car, making some situations inherently more dangerous for a motorcyclist. For example a few years back, my brother and I had to travel the same piece of road on the same day, which happened to have accumulated black ice on a corner. My Toyota Blade lost traction and slid, but in 50m I was back in a straight line. I crossed the centre line a bit and scared my wife, but that was it. His Yamaha YZF1000 ended up sliding off the road and getting crushed under a safety barrier. No-one injured in either case, thank God, but he still ended up worse off because he was on a bike. (He rebuilt the bike and still rides.)

The numbers will still probably be higher for motorcycles, but not by nearly as much. You have to be on point every second these days when on a bike. Soooo many people not paying attention while in their cars, and bikes are easy targets to miss.

The souther parts get quite cold at night, and can be cold all day in winter too. The piece of road in question is in permanent shadow due to the lay of the land. Not surprising.

Quote:
Police believe the registered owner is the mother of the 25-year-old rider. Under the Motor Vehicle Act, police are able to serve tickets to the registered owner even if she was not driving the bike.
On Wednesday, the mother was issued tickets totalling $1,449. The breakdown was a $368 ticket for driving without due care and attention, a $483 ticket for excessive speed and a $598 ticket for no insurance.
"The Motor Vehicle Act has sections in it that require the owner to be responsible for the conduct of the vehicle and to be responsible for the person who operates the vehicle," Jantzen said.
.

Police are trying to seize the motorcycle permanently under B.C.'s Civil Forfeiture Act, which allows the province to take assets that they can prove were used in the commission of an offence.
Yikes- $1450 in fines, plus six grand for the bike- and she allegedly wasn't even the offender! If they are going to seize the vehicle, the least they can do is cover the fine with the proceeds from when they sell it...

Screw that. Your adult son with 27 moving violations wants you to register his crotch rocket, despite the fact that he has no license, and you agree to do it? You deserve every fine they hit you with.

What's with the 'tude? I guess it does make sense that it could have been his bike, not hers even if she is the registered owner. If that's the case then I have no problem with them seizing the bike. My original comment was based on the bike being hers and the kid just "borrowed" (read: stole) it. She should suffer from another "adult"'s poor decision? I guess Canadian law says yes. Might as well take any other vehicles she owns while they're at it because her son will almost certainly do it again with another vehicle of hers.
Of course if the bike is hers and she *let* him take it out then she deserves the punishment served her.
More clear I hope?

Yes she should! It's registered in her name. It's her responsibility to make sure it NEVER got into anyone elses' hands who aren't permitted to use it. If her son stole the bike then charges should be filed by her against him for theft. Otherwise, she deserves every bit of financial pain and humiliation from her own reckless stupidity that led to this.
From the quoted article:
Quote:

It was her stupidly retarded decision to let her unlicensed yet ADULT son use her motorcycle in a highly irresponsible manner. She deserves every fine. That is one dumb mother.
Sadly, responsibility is giving way to a pablum-puking liberal philosophy of perpetual childish victimhood. Scares me, and I'm fearless.

I'll just have to give a nod to your obvious superior knowledge on what happened here. If you had read my entire post you will have seen that I agree with the punishment if she is indeed guilty. Which she must be, even without a doubt complicit all the way, 'cause you said so.

If I buy and possess a gun, have a license to carry and all that, yet someone steals it. Whether it be another household member, or someone that breaks into my residence while I'm away, then they end up killing someone with it, either intentionally or by accident.
I'd be the one responsible for that death?
Now, mind you, I don't know the law here in America regarding this situation, or if it's any different in Canada (assuming they did allow ownership of firearms), and I don't feel like googling up said info.
The point is - I wouldn't feel as if I should be held responsible because of someone elses wrong doing. I mean, they could steal a shirt I have hanging out to dry on the line and use it to strangle someone.

No "if": She is guilty. The motorcycle is registered in her name, not his. She let an unlicensed person use her motorcycle. That person broke the law by doing those hijinks and getting caught while she knew that person had no right under the law to use her motorcycle. Those are the facts.
Dumb mother. Dumb offspring. It's irresponsible people like this who give responsible motorcyclists a bad reputation. It's also a prime example of poor parenting.

I already covered that: If her son stole her motorcycle then she should press charges regarding the theft of that vehicle. Thus, if charges for theft are involved then the son will face the full penalties of both the traffic violations as well as criminal liability regarding the theft of the motorcycle.
If she doesn't press charges for theft then the logical conclusion is that she let an unlicensed person use a vehicle registered in her name. In that case that is willful neglect of her own responsibility regarding the ownership of her own vehicle.
So far the mother isn't pushing for theft charges to be filed against her son at this time. That may change. Though, as you can see, the charges of theft will raise the stakes quite a bit.

Sorry, I made the opposite assumption. The guy is 25, so his mom is (hopefully) no younger than 40, and most likely somewhere between 50 and 60. While it's not impossible for a middle aged woman to own and ride a powerful, Japanese sport bike, I'd say it's pretty unlikely, ergo I assumed she registered (and likely bought) it for junior.
Plus if it were really stolen, I don't think the police would be able to seize it, unless the laws in Canada are really weird. If he had taken it from a random stranger, it would be pretty strange and unfair to punish that person for his actions. It should be no different if he stole the bike from someone he knew, unless maybe she knew it was gone and failed to report it.

Yeah, with that age for her in mind it really does seem unlikely it is meant for anyone but her son. However, *IF* it really is her bike then she now has to choose between making junior learn a very hard lesson by having him charged with grand theft (or whatever the Canadian equivalent is) or sacrificing the bike to go easier on him (he still has other charges he's facing of course).
