‘The collapse of the Off Road Vehicles (Registration) Bill is a victory for common sense,’ according to Mike Owen, head of the Motorcycle Retailers Association,’ (MRA), a part of the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF). Graham Stringer MP, who originally proposed the bill has been forced to withdraw it due to opposition by Government, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), and lobbying against the bill by the MRA and other organisations.
‘Improving road design and conditions would greatly reduce the number of motorcycle accidents in the UK, as these factors cause far more crashes than inappropriate speed,’ said Mike Owen, Head of the Motorcycle Retailers Association (MRA), part of the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF).
