The coroner's concerns
1. loss of traction on dry road after thin surface treatment
“thin surface treatment has a particular property ("early life effects")in dry conditions the level of friction available can be akin to that of a wet road”
2. lack of warning signage for early life thin surface treatment
“no guidance that signage be provided”
3. insufficient evidence on motorcycle safety for thin surface treatments
“research may not have been able to look specifically at motorcycle accidents”
