J'ai écrit une belle lettre...

Bonjour, mes compatriotes!

J'ai écrit une belle lettre aux "conseil d'experts" http://www.conseilexpert.aauto.ca/membres_conseil.htm

Malheureusement, je l'ai composée en anglais, pour que je puisse partager notre outrage aux Québec avec nos amis motocyclistes au Canada, aux Étas-Unis, et en Europe.

La voici:


Upon having gained knowledge of the proposed plans to hike registration fees to unheard-of heights, I find it necessary that through public consultation, voices ought to be heard.

Anyone actually believing that so-called “sport bikes” are the tangible cause of accidents on the road is either highly delusional or neurotic. It is the irresponsible driver who, under the pretense of not having seen the motorcyclist, ought to be held accountable for his or her misdeeds. Blaming the SAAQ’s administrative and financial problems on 141,000 law-abiding motorcyclists is as ludicrous as lobbying against them, or intimidating them by threatening to raise registration fees to an outrageous point.

Most people in Quebec do not have dozens of thousands of dollars in superfluous income to not care about their insurance premiums or registration fees going up many times their present level. Insurance is already quite high, sometimes even prohibitively high for some motorbikes. Some motorcycle riders use their vehicles as their primary source of transportation due to their relative low cost, ease of maintenance, gracious fuel economy, environmental friendliness, and sheer enjoyment factor; therefore, following the proposed plans in question, it would make motorcycle ownership unfeasible and it would defeat the purpose of possessing one. Furthermore, increasing the fees for taxis is illogical and unfounded – it would only lead to taxis to charge progressively higher prices, thus once again jeopardising a certain segment of the population. If the way in which taxi drivers cause is a true concern, then perhaps their training can be modified to include some useful real-life skills, or conceivably, that there be additional incremental training requirements that would brush up their driving.

This said, reconsidering the plan, or changing the focus of said plan would be warmly welcomed by the public.


Please give the abovementioned serious consideration.
