Dangerous motorcyclist near killed a cat

Seen the most dangerous motorcyclist a couple of times early evening - he nearly ran over a cat the other day! Does wheelies down Gordon Road on a blue bike. Must be doing 50mph. Cannot he be stopped?

If he had hit the cat he’d probably have come off his bike. Cats have loose skins which cause wheels to slip. If he’d hit a dog, chances are he would run over it and manage to stay on the bike as dogs have tighter skins. Just saying.

I blame the cat - they should have registration plates when out and about on public highways ....

Agree Philippa and Diane.

You should always report things like this to the police even if you don't believe that they will take action. If this individual does cause a serious accident at a later date such reports have a strong evidential value in any subsequent prosecution.

Since both dogs and cats have to be chipped and registered nowadays surely it is time that that law should be updated!

If you are involved in an accident with a cat, you are not legally required to report it to the police.If you hit a dog with your vehicle, you are legally required to report the accident to the police, regardless of the dog's injury status.

think he must have adjusted the plates to make them hard to read. And no point there, they will only be interested if he runs someone over or skids off the bike. Will keep my eye out for him. Would make for a safer neighborhood if others did too.

So did you make a note of the number plate and call the police ?
