What the petition asks
Our beautiful son, brother and uncle Liam lost his life just three weeks after passing his 600 cc CBT test. Despite riding safely, his sheer lack of experience handling such a powerful vehicle meant he lost control and crashed. He sadly passed away at the scene as a result of his injuries.
The law states that immediately after passing your test you are allowed to ride 600 cc bikes and upwards with no restrictions on the power of the vehicle if you are aged 24+. We are petitioning to change this law to be based on progressive rider experience and bike power categorisation. - Additional lessons on motorways - Additional lessons on riding with a pillion - Wearing appropriate protective clothing a legal requirement.
