MASKED MOTO MADNESS

MASKED MOTO MADNESS
Why this petition matters
It is MADNESS for the HK Government to require the rider and a passenger on a MOTORCYCLE to be MASKED. They are either alone or at most with another person who is normally a close contact. They are outside in the fresh air. They are, by definition, hopefully, socially distanced from other drivers, riders or pedestrians. Masks worn on a motorcycle in the heat or rain of HK are uncomfortable and dangerous as they can easily itch, move around and, most significantly, cause fogged glasses or visors. Looking out for ticket-happy cops is also an unnecessary distraction. It is inconceivable that there are any COVID social distancing benefits from wearing a mask on a motorcycle while it is equally obvious that masks unnecessarily increase the risks for motorcyclists using an already relatively dangerous mode of transport. Please sign and pass on this petition to anyone you know who rides or could ride a motorcycle in HK and lets try to get the Government to relax this motorcycle mask mandate immediately.
