2nd European Driving Licence
To highlight the introduction of the new testing procedures in 2008 Motorcycle rider trainers will get their first opportunity to try out the new bike test for themselves ahead of its introduction in October 2008, as the Motorcycle Rider Trainers Association (MRTA) puts on a special trial event this summer.
Organised in conjunction with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), the day will enable rider trainers to use an officially laid out test circuit to try out the off-road manoeuvres that will be included in the new two-part test:
slalom
figure of eight
slow ride
swerve and stop
emergency stop
wheeling the bike
This will be the first Event Day to be open to the public as well as the trade.
More than 4,000 people are expected to attend.

Industry Campaign
Meanwhile the Motorcycle Industry has launched its campaign.
‘Now’s The Time To Get Your Motorcycle Licence’ to encourage people to take up motorcycling and get their full licence.
“Over the coming months, we plan to raise awareness about the 2DLD legislation and promote the benefits of getting on two wheels in order to motivate those who don’t have a full motorcycle licence to get one now.”
