The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) exists to represent riders’ rights regardless of what they ride. MAG believes that motorcycle awareness by car, van and truck drivers is fundamental to improve the casualty rates for motorcyclists. Until this fact is recognised and training and testing regimes for all road users is rethought, these campaigns, will not solve the problem. The government must include specific training (and testing) for other road users to look for motorcyclists. For individual membership phone 0870 444 8448 (www.mag-uk.org).
