Also signed, but if more of us joined MAG and therefore helped to fund their campaign activities it would be a more effective action.

I've never been a close follower of fashion .... but you do have to admire the sheer flamboyance of French style ................

You might get some attention from the lawyers of a well-known clothing firm...

Seriously, I'd sign up for one...

I think you really ought to get off the fence and tell us how you feel, Pete...

I still think that FCUK EU has a certain understated charm and minimalist elegance...

.... except this particular thing is not an EU issue - it's the odd member state acting in their own power ..... so for this issue it's not really an appropriate slogan ....

I've almost given up saying that. It usually falls on deaf ears.

MAG’s Ian Mutch said: "We contend that a motorist who is incapable of identifying a normally dressed rider and motorcycle in conditions of good visibility is not fit to hold a driving licence."

"Making extreme demands of motorcyclists in respect of their clothing is to effectively persecute the victims of problem to accommodate the failings of those who often cause them."

Glad I'm not the only only who thinks that.................it seems almost compulsary now to drive like a complete wanker if you have a high vis vest on.......and why? why do they continue to wear their high vis vest when in the car?????

I work in the construction industry and I can't wait to take my high viz off as soon as I leave site let alone drive all the way home in it
