 Europe Questions the Role for Motorcycle 'toys' on our Roads
Issued 24th December 2007
A leading EU transport 'expert' has questioned whether there is any place for motorcycles on Europe's roads.
Norwegian Rune Elvik says: 'In Norway, I believe all the most cost effective measures have been implemented – mandatory helmet use, strict licensing, engine tuning ban, daytime running lights for motorbikes. The question that needs to be raised now is whether there should be any place for these motorised toys in the transport system at all.'
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) says that Elvik's comments, which are contained in a recent report from the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), are biased and anti motorcycling.
There is a real danger of these so called experts' opinions and motorcycle safety reports being accepted without question.
On 21st December 2007, the Flemish Parliament in Belgium was presented with the ETSC report as a basis for legislation on motorcycle safety.
However the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) Belgium, with the support of MPs, defended the riders' position by using the Federation of European Motorcyclists Associations' (FEMA), European Agenda for Motorcycle Safety which highlights the importance of finding real solutions to improve the casualty rates for motorcyclists.
As a direct result of MAG Belgium's action, the ETSC report was rejected and instead, MAG Belgium's motorcycle friendly programme was adopted.
MAG's General Secretary, Trevor Baird, says, 'Motorcycling is under constant threat from the European safety agenda. The introduction of this agenda has been thwarted in Belgium before it spreads further like a rash across Europe. MAG will continue to protect motorcycling and defend riders' rights from whatever quarter the threat comes.'

Europe Bins Bright Idea
Issued 3rd December 2007
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) welcomes the decision by the European Commission (EC) to scrap plans to enforce all vehicles to have their dipped beam headlights on during daytime.
Since the 1980s MAG has challenged the gimmick safety culture that rests on bathing everyone in light or fluorescent clothing to cut accidents.
MAG President Ian Mutch said, “Road safety lies inside people’s heads not in the adoption of barmy gimmicks. If road users can’t see each other in perfect visibility then maybe they should get their eyes tested. This decision reflects some refreshing sanity in Brussels and is a testament to persistent campaigning by MAG’s European lobbying arm FEMA, The Federation of European Motorcyclists Associations.”
MAG’s General Secretary Trevor Baird said, “This has taken over a year since we replied to the European Commissions consultation in 2006. It’s been a long haul with meetings in Europe putting MAG’s position across and representation at the United Nations level through FEMA.”
MAG’s view of daytime headlight use is that if bikers want to try it then they should be free to do so but they should be wary of the fact that this is not a panacea for the “didn’t see you mate” accidents. At least the threat of motorcycles being lost in a multi vehicle aurora of light has now receded.

MAG Appoints Bikesure
Issued 30th November 2007
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) has appointed Bikesure as its exclusive insurance partner.
The deal means that MAG's members can get up to 15% discount on insurance for whatever they ride - bike, scooter , trike or quad.
With a membership of over 50,000 (and growing), MAG's main aim is to protect the interests of the biking community.
Similarly Bikesure has a track record in responding quickly to the changing needs of the biker - not just by trying to offer cheaper bike insurance, but also, for example, by developing policies for the growing number of trikes and quad bikes on the road.
David Short, Campaigns Manager of MAG, explains the reason for choosing Bikesure. "It's a company run by bikers for bikers, so they know what they're talking about. We were very impressed by Bikesure's commitment, the customer focus, the range of products and, vitally, the support they offer. It's all very well buying insurance, it's only when you make a claim or ask for help that you find out how good your insurer is. We believe the arrangement will lead to a very positive, long-term partnership."
Another attraction is Bikesure's ability to insure all types of bike - classic, modern, customised and modified, as well as 'twist and go' and high performance superbikes.
The company even insures bikes with NOS (nitrous oxide systems) for use on the road.
The variety of products developed for bikers includes multi-bike policies and bike-specific breakdown insurance.
Recent schemes include a low-cost 'Helmet & Leather' extension, which gives cover of up to £1000 for a premium of only £20, and a policy offering all-year European cover, aimed at bikers who can take the time off to do the 'Grand Tour'.
The company offers free legal cover, whether or not you have a Bikesure policy, and its website includes a free instant quote and a 'buy online' service.
Bikesure is also offering MAG members discounts of up to 10% on insurance for their cars, motorhomes and caravans, as well as for their home insurance, both building and contents.
These policies are supplied via its parent company, Adrian Flux Insurance Services.
MAG members who want to find out more can call the dedicated Bikesure/MAG quote line for free on 0800 089 0342.
Joining MAG costs just £20 per year, which can easily be recouped through the insurance discounts now on offer.
Members also enjoy a wide range of other benefits.
Find out more at www.maginsurance.co.uk Bikesure has a huge range of cheap bike insurance schemes for the motorcycle enthusiast.
For general enquiries call Bikesure free on 0800 089 2000, email the company at bikesure@adrianflux.co.uk or visit www.bikesure.co.uk

 Daytime Running Lights: Commission listens to the concerns of VRUs
Issued 30th November 2007
The European Commission (EC) has decided not to call for the use of daytime dipped-beam headlights in Europe. This means that the point of view of motorcyclists and other vulnerable road users (VRU) has finally been taken into account.
As announced by Mr. Zoltan Kazatsay, Deputy Director General of the DG TREN during the 4th ACEM Annual Conference held on Tuesday 20 November 2007, the EC proposal to harmonise the use of daytime dipped-beam headlights in Europe has been abandoned.
Although the Commission still supports the view that daytime dipped-beam headlights could increase the safety of car drivers and reduce the number of car accidents and fatalities, it recognized that too little information is yet available about the impact of this measure on other road users. This was one of the concerns raised by FEMA against this proposal.
FEMA argued that clear evidence and reliable statistics demonstrating the benefits of compulsory use of dipped beam headlights during the day from countries where it had been introduced were indeed lacking. FEMA further claimed that there were sufficient doubts concerning the quality of some of the research to warrant its promotion as an issue for harmonisation.

Pan - European - Synthetic Oil Campaign
Issued 20th November 2007
Motorcycle stakeholders launch a Pan-European campaign promoting the use of synthetic oil for Powered Two Wheelers with two-stroke engines.
The MotorCycle Community in Europe (MCC) is launching today a European-wide awareness campaign promoting the use of synthetic oil for Powered Two Wheelers. This campaign is supported by the European Commission.
It is generally recognised that the type of lubricant oil has a direct and immediate impact on the emissions of Particulate Matters. Synthetic oil ensures a good environmental performance and correct and long-lasting effectiveness for new technology Euro2 and Euro3 vehicles. However, a large number of two-stroke “conventional” pre-Euro1 Powered Two Wheelers in use could contribute to Particulate Matters reduction up to 50% by using synthetic oil.
The objective of the campaign is to inform the owners of these vehicles as to the advantages of synthetic oil, which will contribute to a better and cleaner environment. The campaign is also intended to safeguard the mobility of two-stroke engine users in congested city centres, where “conventional” pre-Euro1 vehicles are increasingly faced with issues related to air quality.
The MCC also wishes to increase the awareness of the urban mobility advantages of motorcycles and scooters in comparison with cars. The MCC calls on the authorities to make use of environmental fiscal incentives to stimulate the renewal of the fleet.
The message, reflected by the logo and slogan devised for the campaign, “Be smarter, be cleaner, use synthetic oil!!”, is positive and environmentally friendly. It intends to reach, through the internet, users, dealers, retailers and the press in order to maximise the efficiency of the campaign.
All material related to the campaign can be found in different European languages and downloaded from a dedicated website www.usesyntheticoil.info

Bikes in the Park
Issued 9th November 2007
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) express grave concerns at the North Wales police proposal to consider banning motorcycles from the National Park.
MAG won’t deny that there is a problem with a minority of irresponsible riders but penalising everyone for the lunacy or misfortune of a few is an outrageous abuse of authority.

Live To Ride. Ride To Live - Think!
Issued 12th October 2007
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) says the government’s motorcycle Think! campaign for motorcyclists hits the right spot for tips and facts for urban motorcycling.
The focus of this latest urban campaign concentrates on motorcyclists perfecting their skills and changing the way they ride with some thought provoking facts and tips that could help riders avoid an accident.
The facts speak for themselves with 65% of all motorcycle accidents involving a car happening at T-junctions with usually the motorist being at fault. The Department for Transport campaign supplements the previous Think! urban campaign which encouraged drivers to ‘THINK! Take longer to look for bikes’.
Top tips for riding include:
- Anticipation - Always keep an eye out for the unexpected,
- Watch your speed - Ride at a speed that gives you enough time to react,
- Positioning - Position yourself on the road so cars can see you,
- Overtaking - It’s one of the most satisfying things you can do on your bike, especially in heavy traffic, but make sure you always look over your shoulder to see what people are doing behind you.
Other advice includes keeping your bike in perfect nick and wearing the appropriate riding kit.

DfT ‘Think!’ Rural Speed Campaign
Issued 4th October 2007
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) supports the new Government ‘Think!’ campaign to raise motorist’s awareness of the dangers of speeding on rural roads.
The campaign highlights that in rural areas accidents often involve single vehicles suggesting that drivers are travelling in excess of the speed limit or travelling too fast for conditions. In 2006 325 car drivers were killed on rural roads.
As vulnerable road users motorcyclists are often the victims of dangerous, careless and aggressive driving which is exacerbated when that driver behaviour takes place on narrow roads with high hedgerows and limited visibility.
Motorcyclists too need to recognise that roads are not race tracks and that having an accident in remote rural areas is further complicated because of access problems and distances the emergency services have to travel. It is a sobering thought that you are three times more likely to die in an accident on a rural road than an urban one.

Revised Highway Code Launched – Read It!
Issued 2nd October 2007
The first revised Highway Code in eight years has been unveiled by Road Safety Minister Jim Fitzpatrick. The updated Code offers the latest road safety rules and advice, as well as promoting greater courtesy and understanding among all road users, particularly those who are most vulnerable.
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK)) says that motorcyclists are vulnerable road users and often bear the brunt of inattentive drivers who are more pre occupied with trying to light a cigarette, fiddling with CD’s, trying to read road maps, not to mention the omnipresent mobile phone users who persist in using their phones despite increased penalties. All these activities result in distractions from driving and present a very serious danger to motorcyclists which are now categorically defined in the new Highway Code as activities prohibited whilst driving.
The Code is available for free at www.direct.gov.uk/highwaycode
The Official Highway Code is published by The Stationery Office Ltd (TSO) and is priced at £2.50. Visit
www.tsoshop.co.uk/highwaycode or call 0870 600 5522. Copies are also available from all good High Street and online bookstores.

Consultation and Motorcycle Prejudice
Issued 10th September 2007
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) has been invited by the Department of Transport to comment on the Government's Draft Local Transport Bill. The Local Transport Bill is a key part of the Government's strategy to meet the transport challenges of not only today, but in ten and twenty year’s time.
The three key areas of the strategy, addresses public transport, the governance for managing local transport and the issue of road pricing. MAG have worked relentlessly to persuade Government of the advantages and benefits which motorcycling offers to ease traffic congestion, improve the environment as well as enhancing social mobility and the economic prosperity of the nation.
Moves by Road Peace and other road safety movements to undermine motorcycling have been discredited. Their claims that motorcycling is dangerous and adds to pollution can be rebutted by hard evidence from the Government’s own sources.
