Do you want the Government for a backseat driver?
  • Speed control technology is reality now and is being trialled on cars. Research on motorcycling applications is proceeding.
  • MAG recognises the benefits of Intelligent Transport Systems generally BUT we will not surrender control of our motorcycles.
  • Objections based on technical shortcomings will be overcome by technology.
  • Only the firmly expressed will of the voting public can keep the nightmare of absolute control from becoming reality.
  • Our aim is to ensure that the only hand on the throttle is yours.
  • MAG's position is simple. However foolproof this technology may become, we simply oppose any and all measures that remove control from the rider.

MAG are pushing for biking to be viewed as a preferred transport option with free use of tolled crossings - Dartford is the latest crossing to promise free passage for bikes following MAG's stunts and negotiations.

MAG overcame Ken Livingstone's reservations to back exemption from congestion charging for motorcycles.
