We are already told what we can and can't do - we can do 70mph - we can't do 75mph. So why can cars do 150+mph. Its like saying you can have a hand gun as long as you don't shoot anyone.
Trucks are limited and you don't hear people complaining that they had an accident because of it.

Most of us understand bikers mannerisms. They are the idiots that pass everyone on the inside at traffic lights and then turn right in front of the left turning cars. Like the one who did it to me the other week at Church lights. Or overtake down the middle on oncomming traffic - the fool has no idea if something in the gutter or a pedestrian is going to cause the car driver to move a couple of feet and kill the biker (without crossing the white line ).
I am sorry but there is no logical excuse for allowing vehicles that can go faster than 70mph.
