New statistics released by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) appear to show that the impending Second Driving Licence Directive (2DLD) EU legislation, coming into effect in October 2008, is getting more people out on two wheels as the number of people taking and passing their test has grown.
As details of new motorcycle licence test arrangements for late 2008 are finalised by the Government, the Motor Cycle Industry Association (MCI) is launching a major campaign to encourage people to take up motorcycling and get their full licence. Driven by European legislation, The Second European Driving Licence Directive, or 2DLD, will come into force in September 2008 and will introduce new elements to motorcycle testing and training.
