How many more victims do we have to have before something is done to annihilate this killer from our roads? I know that some individuals invested lots of money to set up Quadbikes for hire, but it is a clear fact that quadbikes are far from safe and it seems that they are a death trap.
In big countries where they have big farms quadbikes has earned a good place even taking the place of horses for Cowboys, yet although these infamous bikes are driven by owners and not by a tourist or people who want to have a fun day, the death toll in owned bikes is also high. In Australia for example, 15 to 20 people are killed and more than 1,000 are seriously injured each year in quad bike accidents.
I do not know what to suggest but I can say that this is not a toy and it shouldn’t be hired, furthermore Quadbike drivers should acquire a proper licence for driving such an unforgivable vehicle.
