External Vehicle Speed
Control (EVSC)
- The remote control of vehicle speed so that no private vehicle ever
exceeds a speed limit by any margin is the goal of many road safety
zealots. MAG opposes this zero tolerance attitude which it sees as
challenging the fundamental concept of private transport. Speed control
technology is now a reality. The challenge
for MAG is to prevent what is technically feasible becoming politically
acceptable. We are defending your right to control your motorcycle.
Irresponsible Road Users
- MAG has long resisted efforts to apportion all blame for motorcycle
accidents to riders. Many accidents are caused by unobservant motorists
who claim "sorry mate I didn't see you" (the SMIDSY accident).
MAG is campaigning for motorcycle awareness elements in the driving test
and for stronger measures to prevent diesel spillages.
Road Design
- Wire rope barriers with their exposed posts are seen as the most
dangerous form of crash barriers for motorcyclists. MAG is
campaigning for the removal of these barriers and the installation of
motorcycle friendly barriers on
Road Tolls
- Congestion Charging
Tolls for bikes were dropped on the Dartford Crossing,
Anti-theft
Reward Scheme
- MAG
members' bikes are protected by a reward of up to £1,000 in the event of
them being stolen.
Power Limits
MAG successfully helped beat the 100bhp limit and modified the EU
anti-tampering directive in a way that preserved significant rights for
owners to modify their machines.
Driving Licenses
- The EU want to harmonise motorcycle training and testing protocols in
a way that could make it far harder for
Clothing -
Efforts to require
riders to wear only such clothing as meets minimum standards of
protection have already been made. While MAG recognises the value of
having clothing standards for consumer information, we fiercely
challenge the right of Government to tell us what we must wear.
The best
possible way of raising the money and the profile of MAG is by being
part of the massive motorcycling social scene - by holding major rallies
and shows, or arranging entertainment with the cooperation of other
events, such as the Pro Custom Bike Show.
