REPORT MAG UK NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEETING - 14th October 2006
A busy two months from my last report. Europe features heavy in this report and it seems I have been in Brussels on a constant basis through FEMA and the 3rd Driving Licence directive.
Safety safety safety is still high on the agenda and it is a continual battle in the debate to protect motorcycling from this ever increasing threat from the safety bureaucrats.
What also is becoming more apparent is that our political representatives do not understand the issues in-depth or indeed the basics surrounding the safety issue and how this affects our right to enjoy motorcycling without unnecessary interference.
We need to shout louder and continue to present a, reasoned, balanced and intelligent arguments and understanding based on fact, our philosophical approach and not the biased “bullshit” that the safety “experts” present.
Driving Licence Directive
MAG UKs campaign continues on the directive with the latest lobby targeted towards the MEPs on the TRANS Committee in Europe.
Philip Bradbourn through work with FEMA General Secretary and Campaigns Officer has submitted amendments to the Directive.
On Monday 9th October I attended with FEMA representative a meeting with Philip Bradbourn’s assistant to confirm the amendments which then led to attending the TRANS Committee meeting the next day in the EU Parliament in Brussels.
The committee meeting discussed the Directive, Grosch MEP the rapporteur, in charge of “managing” the directive, called not to propose amendments as an agreement had been found between the Parliament and the Council. In other words he does not want a full second reading.
This was denied and Philip Bradbourn spoke on motorcyclists behalf saying the directive was “Draconian” and would make riders jump through unnecessary “hoops and hurdles” to achieve a full licence. Gary Titley criticized the motorcycle aspects but proposing a strange alternative among which direct access to be selected by Member States between 21 and 27 years of age! This fits in with the UK Government original proposal to have direct access at 27 years. Guess which age member states of the EU would choose.
Therefore there was no vote on the directive at this committee meeting. Any amendments must be submitted by the end of October and will be voted on in the next TRAN committee meeting early in November possibly the 2nd November, I will be attending this meeting as will FEMA and member organisations representatives.
If the amendments are accepted in the vote these will be brought up in the second reading in the EU Parliament which at present is set for the 12th December.
ACTION: Change the campaign website – email the email army – to contact MEPs on the TRANS Committee and MEPs not on the TRANS committee to forward our concerns, and call to support the amendments to their political groupings.
Political groupings in the EU Parliament are made up of MEPs from the various member states. We will be relying on member organisations of FEMA to contact their own MEPs.
Full details of the campaign is at http://tinyurl.com/nr7wt the dedicated website.
2nd Driving Licence Directive
Progressing within a working group with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and other stakeholders to deliver the new test procedures in the UK for 2008.

Bus Lane Access – London
The long awaited results of bikes in bus lanes trials was a long time coming and not without some pushing from MAG, BMF, the motorcycle industry and others through the London Motorcycle Working Group.
However, the results presented at a seminar in September with Transport for London have left us all somewhat frustrated.
The large amount of data collected in the trials was transposed through an unnecessary complex methodology which churned out a result that was at best neutral and at worst inconclusive.
Basically they have again stalled any decision to make the access to motorcycles permanent.
However, work continues in the background which includes the delivery of the UK’s National Motorcycle Strategy and in particular through the Traffic Management, Planning & Transportation sub group, which is working on a review of the guidance in Local Transport Note 1/97 “Keeping Buses Moving” that recommends that motorcycles should not normally be allowed in bus lanes, to make it less 'negative' to motorcycles and reflect current practice/experience.
However we should be lobbying politically to Greater London Authority members.

EVSC and ISA Motorcycle
After testing a motorcycle fitted with ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaption) MAG UK has re launched its 2001 campaign to oppose the compulsory fitment to privately owned vehicles of any device designed to arbitrarily remove control from the driver to remote operation and is asking all vehicle users to sign the Mulhouse Declaration.
Overall in MAG UK’s opinion the ISA system is a dangerous safety device it overloads the rider with information and distracts the concentration needed for the task at hand.
Within the confines of the project a result was achieved a result that technically ISA can be fitted and slow a bike down within a set speed limit and can limit that speed within the confines of a test track situation.
Although this is the end of the motorcycle project a final report is still to be submitted to the Department for Transport (DfT).
Response from government at present is that they would not make ISA for motorcycles compulsory but has been said, that is government and this Minister’s stance.
More details Here
Crash Barriers
The UK’s Highways Agency (HA) has installed another Motorcycle Friendly Crash Barrier on their road network.
The Highways Agencies Angela Koenig said, 'We are always investigating ways to make motorways and trunk roads safer for road users. BikeGuard is another initiative that may reduce the number of motorcycle-related deaths and injuries on our network.'
The HA have said this is, "To improve safety to all road users, including motorcyclists, all new central barriers must now be solid concrete with no posts and there is also a recently-introduced section on motorcyclists in the Highway's Agency's Road Restraints Standard.
This means that at high-risk sites for motorcyclists, such as tight external bends, consideration must be given to the form of barrier to make sure it is safe for motorcyclists. BikeGuard is one of the solutions."
Although this points to no more wire rope barriers being fitted in the UK, the Highway's Agency's Road Restraints Standard still has WRB as an acceptable barrier to use, it fits the EN standards.
However it appears when central barriers are being replaced WRB will not be used so we still need to push for replacement and an actual commitment from government.
Work continues at European level through FEMA to have the CEN standards changed.

DRL (Day Time Running Lights)
Elaine Hardy MAG UK Research Officer has submitted a response to the Commissions consultation paper which has been circulated to FEMA.
This can be downloaded Here
Bob Tomlins the outgoing FEMA Assistant general Secretary has also submitted a paper through the UN working party he sits on as representative of the International Co-operation Fund.
The objective of the fund is ensuring an efficient representation of motorcyclists at the United Nations where Worldwide Standards for Bikes and road safety measures are developed.
Organisations are, The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), the Motorcycle Riders' Foundation (MRF), the Federation of European Motorcyclists' Associations (FEMA) and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).
MAG UK statement on DRL is as follows:
MAG is concerned on several levels.
1. This false panacea is being given credibility because it provides the car industry with a cheap alternative to the pedestrian impact standards for car construction that had been proposed by Brussels.
2. Focussing attention on this ‘Red Herring’ distracts attention from the real causes of accidents between cars and vulnerable targets such as motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.
3. The proposal ignores the environmental damage that extra CO2 emissions will cause through increased fuel consumption. This is a certainty, while the claimed benefits of DRL are entirely speculative.
This is EU lunacy at its cynical worst.
A serious issue is being trivialised by politicians posturing for credibility against a background of cosy commercial concessions through grasping the simple baton of a sad gimmick.
The plus points are speculative, while the environmental downside is admitted. In terms of global safety the real future of the planet is being jeopardised for a benefit that is almost certainly illusory.
The contempt for real safety and intellectual integrity that is manifest in the pro DRL campaign is breathtaking.
Looking through the Third Reading of the Road Safety Bill which occurred on Monday 9 October I picked the following up.
Daytime running safety lights for motorcycles - Greg Knight MP
To move the following Clause:-
(1) All motorcycles used on a public highway shall continuously display a dipped headlight beam and a red light during daylight hours.
(2) Any motorcycle manufactured before 1st January 1973 shall be exempt from the provisions of this section.
(3) Any person riding on a motorcycle which is not displaying daytime running lights and which is not exempt under subsection (2) commits an offence punishable by a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale.
I have been following this bill and the amendment - note the mix up between dipped beam headlight AHO and Daytime Running Lights two separate lighting systems had been presented previously in the committee stage but it seemed to resurface in Parliament on Monday.
Giving the DRL situation in Europe and our response to the EU Commission this could have been a disaster if this amendment had been accepted.
Conservative Greg Knight tabled the amendment for motorcycles to display dipped headlights during daylight hours, a measure that was, he argued, advised in the Highway Code. The House divided, defeating the amendments 280 to 201 votes."
Note Point 3 in the clause that there would be a specific offence with a fine.
However, mention was made in the full debate by the UKs Transport Minister Stephen Ladyman, that day-time running lights should be made compulsory for motorcycles only and not for all vehicles with reference to the debate in the EU on compulsory dipped headlights for all vehicles that should not happen because motorcycles would lose all the "safety" benefits.
Ladyman also said, “In this country, because motorcycles use day-time running lights, they have greater visibility than they would do if everyone used such lights.”
Well that’s wrong, motorcycles in the UK do not use Daytime Running lights, other than those that are imported from outside the UK, motorcycles that are hardwired (AHO) by manufacturers and those motorcyclists who choose to switch their headlights on in day time. I would also say there is a difference between visibility and car drivers actually seeing a motorcycle and judging speed and distance.
At the Trans Committee meeting in the EU Parliament, MEPs from other member states were talking regarding motorcycling and risks and accidents related to the DLD.
What is clear is that they (MPs and MEPs) do not know what they were talking about regarding DRL – AHO for motorcycles and MEPs are generally are supportive of mandatory lights for all vehicles with the UK the only ones opposed.
However are we being sold down the river by the UK government using motorcycle compulsory lights against no compulsion for cars?
ACTION: To continue work at EU level in FEMA and lobby UK MPs and MEPs with MAG UK concerns and to give them an understanding of the issue e.g. what the difference is between AHO – DRL – Dim Dipped Headlights etc.
Light Relief from Heavy Lobbying
Front Number Plates
MAG's Director of Public Affairs is puzzled by a question answered in Parliament on the 9th October.
Liberal Democrat MP Roger Williams, who's constituency is, Brecon and Radnorshire, asked the question, " To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate his Department has made of the number of motorcyclists not carrying a front number plate on their motorcycles in England; and what steps his Department is taking to curb this practice.
Transport Minister Dr. Stephen Ladyman replied, "The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 prohibit the display of a front number plate on all motorcycles registered on or after 1 September 2001.
Keepers of motorcycles registered before this date have the option of whether to display a front number plate or not.
There are no plans to change the law. The Department has no figures on the number of motorcycles in England that do not display front number plates.
Motorcycles displaying a front number plate can present a danger to their riders and to others and the 2001 changes are intended to increase road safety."
Have our MPs lost the plot, or what was the reasoning behind the question we might never know.
Thankfully Stephen Ladyman cleared up a rumour that has been circulating for years that the government plan to re introduce front number plates for motorcycles.
However in this age of electronic advancement and the shrinking size of technology, it would be quite easy to fit a transponder to a motorcycle with the relevant details of registration and ownership.
Which could be linked to credit card details for motorcyclists to pay for congestion charging or toll road and crossing fees.
This not science fiction it is science fact, Trolley Scan (Pty) Ltd in South Africa Here tested a transponder on a motorcycle as far back as 2004, this and similar technology is now used on the race track to time laps.
Even Tesco's the supermarket giant has fitted their trolleys with transponders that lock a wheel, to stop errant shoppers taking the trolleys pass red lines on their boundaries.
So now long before toll operators defeat our reasoning of, holding up traffic at toll booths or the congestion beating advantages of motorcycles to be exempt from charges in the search of profit?
If you live in Mr Williams constituency you may want to drop him a polite letter asking him the reasoning behind his question, considering this is not an illegal practice by motorcyclists:

Mini Motos And Accidents
We are carefully considering the recent petitions and private members bills that have been presented in Parliament over the recent weeks regarding "scramblers" and mini motos. The problems the illegal riding of these machines are causing and the proposed legislation to have them registered the same as road legal bikes.
However for the moment another item form Parliamentary questions this time regarding accidents figures for mini motos.
I have bandied a question about at meetings I attend through the National Motorcycle Council, asking where are accidents and injuries recorded for unregistered "bikes" recorded and are these lumped in with motorcycle statistics. I did not receive much interest but replies ranged from, that it can’t be
a big problem or we don't know.
However Stephen Ladymans reply confirms that in fact these personal injury accidents reported to the police on public roads are recorded as motorcycle accidents and not separated out.
With the reported "massive" problems in the main stream press regarding the misuse of mini motos and unregistered off road bikes, their news stories of problem bikers/motorcyclists are painting legitimate riders in a "bad broad brush" light. Our accident figures however small or large as the case may be also appear to be flawing the stats.
Over the last few years our injury rate has been declining, now much more this would have been without the addition of mini motos is anybodies guess.
Mini Scooters
Mr. Carmichael: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many accidents there have been involving mini moto scooters in each of the last five years; how many of these accidents have resulted in (a) fatal, (b) serious and (c) slight injuries suffered by (i) the driver of the mini moto scooter, (ii) pedestrians, (iii) cyclists and (iv) other road users.
Dr. Ladyman: No data are available. Motorised mini-scooters involved in personal injury accidents reported to the police on public roads are recorded under the motorcycle category and cannot be identified as a distinct group of vehicles.
The problem would appear that there is no category in the form that the police fill out at accidents (Stats 19) to tick a box for a vehicle that is not a "legitimate" road legal vehicle therefore these "class" of vehicles are lumped into the motorcycle category.
What can we do?
You may want to write to your MP to make them aware of how accidents regarding mini motos are recorded.
That the motorcycle community is working closely with Government, to reduce motorcycle accidents/casualties through the National Motorcycle Strategy.
Locally with motorcycle initiatives through the police Bikesafe assessment scheme were this is in place.
Awareness campaigns not just for motorcyclists but other vehicle drivers to look and see motorcyclists. With Highway Authorities to improve the road infrastructure, motorcycle friendly crash barriers, slippy man hole covers, pot holes.

Keep a watchful eye on, what's on TV, what's in the local and National Newspapers, keep an eye on the letters page, what's being said on the internet (good excuse for a few hours surfing) about motorcycling negatives and positives but most importantly the negatives.
Especially important if its politicians pontificating in public, write a letter to the MP/MEP, even better if it's your MP or even a local councillor.
These are the policy makers and a simple formula for letters to politicians is, "In gauging public concern on an issue politicians interpret every letter as reflecting the views of at least a hundred voters".
Don't just write to complain give praise when it's due this can be helpful in building up a "relationship" with politicians, thus will not just be another negative letter.
When something is in print then people tend to believe in it, so keeping an eye on the letters page in Newspapers is useful.
Mr Joe Public may have written negatively on motorcycling, you could respond by pointing out the errors of his way, politely of course, highlighting the positive side of motorcycling.
From the MAG Reps Handbook: "Local papers are often so short of letters that they will print any reasonable letter they get, in full.
It's also worth trying to write to national newspapers, but in this case the shorter the better.
Write follow-up letters to newspapers or magazines that have printed articles about MAG.
Comment on their coverage of MAG, and bring in the current action your Group is planning or involved in. Remember that there is usually a MAG "policy line" on most issues.
This might require a small piece of research to get any facts required, if on the internet this is easy, there are search engines on the MAG website www.mag-uk.org and the Activists website www.network.mag-uk.org that should help you.
If you attend your local MAG group meetings, in fact if you don't this could be the opportunity to attend, to raise issues, the group may be already aware and you could add your voice to like minded riders.
Now if we could replicate Media Watch across the country, "attacking" negative opinions, correcting wrong assumptions and promoting the positives of motorcycling to the policy makers, the general public and the press, will show that motorcyclists have a voice and will not sit quietly as our lifestyle and chosen form of transport is eroded.
National Motorcycle Council – Sub Groups – Delivering the UK’s National Motorcycle Strategy
This is the body that is delivering the UK’s motorcycle strategy, at present myself and Gerard Livett represent MAG UK on the NMC sub Groups.
The NMC is made up of four sub groups the following text is an overview of the work being carried out taken from the minutes of the last meeting.
Technical, Engineering and Environmental Issues
A European initiative has been launched, the PISa (Powered Two Wheeler Integrated Safety), aimed at looking at which car safety improvement technologies can be transferred to motorcycles. There is an agreement to undertake a feasibility study into NCAP type assessment for motorcycles.
Studies have been carried out in the UK using “On The Spot” data from TFL with regard to A pillars in cars and how they obscure a motorist’s view. The results have proved inconclusive. Further data is to be gathered for future analysis.
A rider survey on rear vision, brake and tyre issues has been drafted and is soon to be circulated by various organisations within the subgroup. The deadline for responses will be the end of the year.
The DfT opposes Daytime Running Lights for all vehicles but is a lone voice in Europe’s community. It was questioned how it is possible to measure conspicuity, and whether DRLs would impact on cyclist safety as well as motorcyclists.
Several years of DfT helmet testing research, undertaken with a view to reviewing standards, are now coming to completion. This showed considerable variability amongst helmets currently available. In the short term, it had been decided to leave the standards alone but to circulate the findings of this work to interested parties – for example helmet makers, distributors, and users, so that they could make an informed choice when purchasing a helmet. However, there are still some issues of test repeatability to be sorted out before this can be done.
DfT also has said it has no plans to mandate ISA controls on motorcycles, however if manufacturers want to introduce them, they will have that choice.
The problem of excess noise caused by illegal aftermarket exhausts is difficult to tackle, and requires a change in riders’ attitudes and an end to its glorification in the press. General opinion was that enforcement by the police on this issue is practically non-existent.
Work is ongoing with regard to diesel spillage but there’s still a problem with spills. It was suggested that there should be info on garage forecourts about the problem of diesel spills.
Training, Testing and Licensing
“Pass Plus” scheme for motorcycles is a wide project and although progress is being made, it can’t be rushed. Insurance companies waiting for post test trainers register, to see how it will work but appear to be very supportive – meeting scheduled soon with AIB.
Insurers reporting a large increase in PTWs (specifically scooters) rear-ending other vehicles, resulting in a lot of damage-only claims.
3rd DLD specifics need to come through before some actions can be completed – eg pre-test training.
DSA now have 5 fulltime CBT managers and 4 full time deputies to oversee CBT schemes. Some CBT sites with very low standards have already shut down but the new Managers aim to offer guidance to avoid the need for such drastic action. DSA producing interactive DVD, with “something for everyone”, scheduled for completion Spring 2007.
Post Test Trainers Register – will have “grandfather” rights, but those will be first to be quality-checked. Riders will need to have validity checks for insurance discounts every 3 years. PTTR launched early 2007.
Traffic Management, Planning and Transport Policy
Publicise the Institute of Highway the Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers (IHIE) guidelines on the provision for motorcyclists on the highway.
Review the guidance in Local Transport guidance Keeping Buses Moving.
Carry out further trials into the effects of allowing motorcycles into advanced stop lines.
Ensure that motorcycles continue to receive appropriate attention in planning guidance documents.
Revise the Code of Practice on Maintenance Management to take account of motorcyclists.
Recommend that local authorities give proper consideration to appropriate provision for motorcyclists
Review the general guidance on Travel Plans and Government guidance to Departments.
Highways Agency will be including motorcycles as a mode of transport to be addressed in its Safety Action Plan. HA will ensure that the particular needs HA will ensure that the particular needs of motorcyclists are taken into account, where appropriate, on the motorway and trunk road network.
A number of Local Authorities now beginning to consider Diesel spillage and effects on two wheelers (not just on two wheelers (not just Motorcyclists). Devon County Council trials of a number of treatments. Highways Agency Traffic Control Centres (in addition to receiving calls about own network) will attempt to forward calls relating to Local Authorities networks.
Bikeguard barrier post protection now approved for use on whole HA network. Also, there are improved manhole cover treatments. Advice needs to be given to Local Authorities regarding traffic calming and parking provision as they affect motorcycling.
Road Safety and Publicity
Think sponsorship of British Super Bike events is continuing through The Academy.
The TV advert (Take Longer to look for bikes) had been well received, but accompanying posters had not and new publicity aimed at urban motorcyclists would be developed.
http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/motorcycles/media/howclose.mpg
ACEM European advertising and marketing guidelines were being revised and would be issued shortly.
Four research projects focussing on motorcycle safety were under way: In-depth study of motorcycle training; Car driver skills and attitudes in relation to motorcycle safety; Rider fatigue and accident risk; and Analysis of the On-the Spot data to supplement MAIDS study.
An enforcement strategy for motorcyclists who fail to comply with road traffic law was due to go live for all forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The number of motorcycle casualties fell in 2005, for the second successive year and the casualty rate also continued to fall. Both casualty rate as well as numbers were emphasised by DfT, to demonstrate the ongoing trend. Road Casualties GB for 2005 will be published at the end of September. DfT will not be adopting Vision Zero.
FEMA
As can be seen a lot of the issues spill over into Europe this year has reflected this more and more.
As reported previously FEMAs new General Secretary, Aline DeHaye has taken up the post and has certainly hit the ground running as can be seen from her adapted reports below.
Unfortunately Filippo Marino FEMAs Campaigns Officer has announced that he will be leaving FEMA, thus FEMA is now seeking a new Campaigns Officer. Advertisements for the post based in Brussels will be circulated shortly with interviews expected in December.
The FEMA website was down for a few weeks and thanks to Andy Meredith and the FEMA webmaster Wim Taal, the website is back and hosted by ourselves at the previous forwarding address
Road Safety Action Programme
FEMA responded to this previously however there is not much mention of motorcycles in the report.
The RSAO was discussed at the TRAN committee meeting I attended October and DRL is being pushed in the programme. Amendments are to be presented by the end of October and voted on in November with the document to go to the EU Parliament in January.
FEMA is lobbying for a better inclusion including reference to motorcycle friendly Infrastructure and guardrails.
Noise Commitment
A questionnaire to be distributed polling the public on illegal exhaust systems, their habits and their reaction if Industry only produces legal exhaust systems.
An awareness campaign to be included in the questionnaire with the support of all stakeholders.
This ties in with the NMC sub group on technical issues that: “The problem of excess noise caused by illegal aftermarket exhausts is difficult to tackle, and requires a change in riders’ attitudes and an end to its glorification in the press.”
iii. Rider education programme designed to remind riders of the damage that loud exhausts do to their hobby (ACEM/FIM/FEMA)
v. The development of a "Stakeholder charter" on motorcycle noise. (Motorcycle Community)
vii. The use of use sports personalities as role models to take the quiet motorcycling message to road riders. (FIM/FEMA)
viii. The major aftermarket RESS manufacturers to be persuaded not to offer illegal pipes for road use. (MCC)
A difficult subject for MAG UK to tackle but an issue that politicians use against motorcycles.
EU Road Safety debate
Objectives: Broadening the scope of the discussion as regards to an EU motorcycle safety strategy.
This will include the Verona Conference in November 4th-6th. Participation of ACEM and the British Minister of State for Transport Mr. Ladyman presenting motorcycle safety.
FEMA will also attend
ERF 9European Road federation) Congress (Brussels)
ACEM (motorcycle industry in Europe) conference on PTW safety
A CEMT meeting – Group Road Safety
FEMA also attended the Forum for Automobile and Society a very strong “lobbying” organisation for cars.
Portugal Joins FEMA
On Saturday 7th October 2006 the Portuguese organisation GAM joined FEMA as member. The FEMA committee, consisting of representatives of all member organisations, unanimously agreed on GAM´s membership.
GAM is a Portuguese abbreviation for Motorcycle Action Group. The organisation was founded in 2006 to establish an organisation to fight for riders´rights in Portugal.
On behalf of GAM full time employee Tó Manel was welcomed to FEMA by President Kees Meijer.
GAM being FEMA´s 22nd member organisation.
