European Third Driving Licence Directive (EDM1060)

European Third Driving Licence Directive

EDM number 1060 in 2005-06, proposed by Lembit Opik on 16/11/2005.

That this House believes the European Third Driving Licence Directive was drafted without due consideration for good road safety practice, will introduce a second motorcycle test with little or no effect on road safety and will make a motorcycle licence a complicated and expensive affair compared with a car licence; further believes that this will reduce commuter motorcycling, creating greater congestion and more pollution, while risking jobs in UK motorcycle manufacturers such as Triumph Motorcycles; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to use its presidency of the European Union to oppose the second motorcycle test and changes to motorcycle licence access ages.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
