No Chips for Bikers!

At last some positive motorcycling news here in the UK!

Yesterday the DVLA (Driver Vehicle and Licensing Agency) said it would not be seeking goverment approval to fit micro chips (EVI) to motorcycle number plates.

So we won't be tagged like common criminals!!!!

Apparently its down to money, they estimate it would cost £100 million to implement but only recoup £27 million, phew!

Further we all got an apology from them for overstating motorcycle VED evasion at 40% rather than the correct 6%.

Ride safe!

So finally the true Motorcycle VED evasion figures are out!

This week MAG , the BMF and the MCIA have all put out press releases concerning the release of the true Motorcycle Vehicle Evasion Duty evasion figures, which surprise, surprise are massively lower than the claimed 40% by the DVLA.

The actual figures from the Department of Transport into the true levels of VED indicates that motorcycle VED evasion is estimated at 6.5%.

What a climb down!! At least the truth is now out.

Ride safe!
