"Police said Mr Snook was following a blue car when he lost control and collided with the Transit van." From the news, where did you get the report of him colliding with the blue car - not arguing, just interested.
I said what I said based on the news above and from talking with a friendly copper, although neither of us where there but he was reported as following the car into a 40mph zone where it is downhill and on an S bend. Experienced riders wouldn't be overtaking or too close.
I agree with the general statement of allowing scooters/mopeds to be able to keep up with traffic but then we also need a method of training them to ride properly, clearly the current system is not quite there yet.
