Organised by the Motor Cycle Industry Association (MCIA), the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show’s annual Youth Day will see 700 young people between 14 and 17 years of age enjoying a great day out at the NEC on December 2nd – right in the middle of Britain’s premier bike show running from November 28th to December 7th. Youth Day is designed to engage young people in road safety, and this year takes on extra significance. The costs of motoring, including high insurance and fuel prices, are seeing increasing numbers of teenagers taking to the roads on scooters, mopeds and small-engined motorcycles. Moped and scooter sales are up by 10.8 per cent and 5.3 per cent respectively this year.
