I wish them well and hope this comes to pass. I also fear we may see one of the worst casualty counts in recent years. I truly hope I'm wrong.

Annoymouse Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I haven’t bothered going out on my bike due to all the 40mph restrictions in place, then I see headlines like this and wonder if that’s all part of their grand plan. I’m expecting TT to be absolute chaos but I hope I’m wrong, since Covid lockdowns nobody seems to have any respect or patience on the roads any more. I certainly noticed a big shift in behaviour/driving standards over the last 2 years, mobile phone use is as blatant as ever, speed limits widely ignored etc . I haven’t seen Police pull over a single person in the last year, I couldn’t even tell you what the unmarked cars are, whereas I’d normally see 1 or 2 pulled over every single day.

Katman Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I see there's an R Plate rider in the group, do they have to display R plates front and rear? Hopefully he kept his speed down below 50mph over the mountain too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysteron Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I think a lot will depend on how often PC Rain is on duty over the fortnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sadly it will be really bad this year. I hope not. But we’ve had 2 years of people not getting it out of their system and I think it’s going to go a bit mad. Plus are roads are that terrible now outside of the TT Course anything could happen. The Roundels should be good for some doughnuts though!

I also think there will be a real danger of races being cancelled or road restrictions invoked due to capacity at Nobles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a cat in hell's chance are they going to prevent a race because some ward is full, casualties with life threatening injuries or with cOvID. The greatest show on earth must carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
