Motorcycle Testing Centres (EDM184)

Motorcycle Testing Centres

EDM number 184 in 2008-09, proposed by Mark Williams on 08/12/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Motorcycles.

That this House believes that the ability to arrange a motorcycle driving test at a convenient and accessible location is essential to the development of safe riding; notes that the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is developing new off-road multi-purpose test centres to comply with the European Union legislation; expresses concern that despite the DSA's statement that no learner should be further than 20 miles or 45 minutes from a multi-purpose test centre there will be no facilities in Mid Wales, and the residents of Ceredigion will be forced to travel to Swansea or Shrewsbury which for many means further than the stated minimum; further expresses concern that inexperienced learner riders will be expected to travel long distances, potentially in poor weather conditions; and calls on the Government to ensure that safe and convenient testing is available to all learner riders.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
