Europe has turned into a continent of rules and regulations (admittedly the law was always very prescriptive in its written Civil Law Vs the unwritten Common Law). Europe loves codes and statutes and the population (mostly) just seems to accept them and move on. The European machine seems to embrace "conformity" which seems to be a reflection of the type of professional journey politician the institutions attract. Luckily not all of this over interference in the daily lives of the people has reached Ireland. If the local council tried to ban motorcycles on a road and leave cars go up it the rule would be ignored and/or fought. They just wouldn't get away with it, it is wholly discriminatory.
