Words of Wisdom from Dorrington...

"It is an honour and it's an honour as I said, that you know, you receive yourself, but you look back quickly and think you can't get these things without the help of your family, the wonderful support of my wife and kids and grand kids, and also the wonderful people on the road safety council and the wonderful people that I have met in footy,"

You mean Harold Scruby, Grant Dorrington is the President of fuck all nowadays.

I'm picturing a sit com starring the both of them.
You can call it Two Men, Half a Brain.
It'll take place in an apartment overlooking a busy intersection, just across the road from a diner that attracts no good greaser motorcycle punks.

From 2007 -

There have been more than a few where it is the fault of the car that has killed the motorcycle rider by pulling out in front of them either because they didn't see them, thought they could beat them or just didn't look for them.

Grant Dorrington's response:

He says motorcyclists should be responsible for their own safety.

"It's just very obvious, you get on a motorbike, they're very powerful, you drive the thing quicker than you should, you're just very vulnerable and unfortunately the road deaths with motorcyclists is an alarming statistic," he said.

So if we use that reasoning, why is Grant supporting even more restrictions of car drivers, and in particular, P-platers. Why can't we all 'be responsible for our own safety'?
