Thank fúck. There are benefits to motorcycles being ignored by government departments

I think that an nct for a bike is a bad idea becuase a bike needs to be inspected far more regularly then the government could on enforce (weekly at least). Ncts would only instill false confidence. The bike licence states my driving one on a public road you agree to maintain your bike to a safe standard.
Why not just make it a offense to ride an obviously unsafe bike ?
