I can understand why a chime on a motorcycle may not be paid as much
attention to as the chime in a Oldsmobile Cutlass :-).
I once saw a motorcycle that had a sonalert that just beeped along with
the signal light; that sounds to me to be both safer and more dependable
- the driver _is supposed to be_ paying attention anyway, right?
I know this is no real excuse, and in fact only makes matters worse, but this bike rider is i his 80s so he probably is forgetfull and would not hear a sonalert either ;-)

Well, if the guy is incompetent, he shouldn't be out there endangering
innocent civilians in the first place.

Thanks,

I did not say he was incompetence, merely old. Whilst what you say may be true, there are no laws in the UK limiting the age above which you are not permitted to drive. Cars are more likely to be lethal weapons than motorbikes. And of course in the US there's nothing to stop the senile owning guns. At least we don't allow that nonsense over here.
