IN response to 'Motorbike nuisance should not be allowed' (Craven Herald letters, May 28), the writer should try living at the side of the A65 in Long Preston.

At least the traffic passing you is possibly only a quarter of what passes here. We get just about the full brunt of all Dales traffic movements including quarry wagons, cars and motorbikes before it all gets chance to split up in various directions at Settle bypass roundabout.

Not only that the vast majority of the aforementioned motorised transport comes back past in the opposite direction at the end of the day.

So in conclusion live and let live or move to Ben Nevis.
