I stated that having ridden everything from mid 70's commuter bikes up to the latest sports bikes I'd say that modern tyres and brakes are incredible in all weather conditions. I added that the weakest link nowadays are the poor road surfaces caused by lack of maintenance, poorly positioned manhole covers, road repairs, white lines and diesel spillages.
I also added that my my mirrors appear to work better than those on most cars and that vibration is not a problem with smooth modern engines although again **** poor road surfaces can give me problems with forward and rearward vision especially if I am wearing spectacles as opposed to contacts.
Seems like they are looking for an easy way of solving a problem that shouldn't exist if they were doing their job properly.
