BMF highlights Bus Lane Trial cover up

Last Friday the BMF put out a release hightlighting the "Bus Lane Trial Cover Up".

The British Motorcyclists Federation have accused London Mayor Ken Livingston’s office of putting motorcyclists lives at risk by failing to authorise the use of London’s bus lanes by motorcycles.

Apparently along overdue TfL (Transport for London) report has been leaked which shows that accidents were nearly halved over a three-year period on two trial routes where motorcycles were allowed into bus lanes, with a 42% reduction in the rate of collisions.

So I'm sure like me you'd have thought that would have been the green light for motorcycles to be able to use bus lanes in London. No wrong, think again. Its motorcycles scooters and mopeds we're talking about here not pedal cycles!! The anti-motorcycling attitude rears its head again.

Apparently Mayoral staff have now ordered a re-write of the report to avoid a green back-lash from the cycle lobby. Luckily for us bikers the BMF will now be making a formal complaint against the Mayor who is also Chairman of Transport for London.

Ride safe!

More anti-biking crap, but MAG fights for us all!

Well thank god for MAG battling away for motorcyclists rights in the UK. The latest crack pot thing to come out, is that the Home Office propose to increase the statutory charges for the removal, storage and disposal of motorcycles by the police, by a whopping 300%.
That's a flat £300 charge and an additional £15 a day storage.

MAG have responded to the consultation process (which closed on the 25th Jan) by
" highlighted the totally unjustified 300% increase and brought to the attention of the Home Office failures in communication between the police, insurers, and the recovery companies which results in unnecessary delays in the release of impounded bikes and escalating costs incurred by the biker"

Well lets hope MAG get this proposal put in the bin where it belongs.

Ride safe!
