safety legislation has lag ged behind the problem according to the motorcycle distrib utors association the rate of motorcycle accidents is decreasing there is no doubt among acton opp officers anyway that these figures do not apply 16 this town in one period of time there were 15 accidents seven of them involved mo torcycles several of them resulted in serious painful injuries to the cyclists requiring months in hospital one acton constable labelled motor cycles accidents looking for a place to happen although in most cases 62 per cent according to toronto police the auto is at fault in a
