New Test Centre Won't Be Ready In Time
23 May 2008
The Motor Cycle Industry Association (MCIA) has today called for the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) to agree to introduce transitional arrangements for motorcycle licence tests, as the date for the introduction of a European regulation looms. On September 29th the motorcycle test is changing to introduce new manoeuvres required under a European Directive. The DSA has chosen to implement the directive by concentrating motorcycle tests at about 60 planned multi-purpose test centres (MPTC) around the UK. Currently there are around 260 motorcycle test centres and the DSA plan slashes this number by 80%.

No Chips For Bikers
17 March 2008

The DVLA had embarked on a feasibility study, including field trials, to determine the effectiveness of EVI as a means of combating motorcycle vehicle excise evasion.

Motorcycle Tax Evasion - Its Not Right
24 January 2008
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK) remain sceptical of the claim in a recent report that 40% of bikers evade paying VED. Anecdotal visual studies carried out by the group at motorcycle events do not reflect anything remotely like this level of non compliance. Unfortunately the media has jumped on this unreliable and suspect headline figure to brand motorcyclists as law breakers.

DVLA Blunders Impacting On Motorcycle Riders
05 January 2007
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG-UK), representing the interests of UK motorcyclists, is very concerned at the current situation where the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) have 'lost' details of riders entitlements to ride motorcycles. The full extent of the problem is not yet known but it is likely that riders who have sent their licences to the DVLA in good faith, and as the law requires, to have changes to their personal details and addresses updated may have their licences returned without the inclusion of their motorcycle entitlement.
