This year seems to have been the worst for a year or two for RTAs. The local plod reckon it is generally due to people riding to close together at speed, one loses control and so do those following them, or if not, they can't stop and hit the first bike. Or just the foreigners forgetting which side to ride on.

Having seen first hand some of the riding this year (and this is no judgement on any specific accident, as I didn't witness any first hand), I can well believe that to be the case.
