Petition: Delay the super test centres

My names Alex and I am a motorcycle instructor living and working in Cornwall.

First off I understand that the DSA will be introducing this new test and has to because our Government has said it will. The problem is and I’m sure you are aware that these new centres are taking time to be completed. Even when all 66 sites are completed there will be large areas of our country which aren’t covered. (as already covered by the MCN).

In the DSA’s latest dispatch (April 08 edition) they are predicting only 35 sites will be operational by th end of September, leaving 31 sites to be completed. In the Southwest only Exeter will be operational which leaves Redruth, Plymouth, Taunton, Bristol and Poole to become operational at a later date.

In the EU only 3 countries are actually adhering to the new regulations (Holland, Germany and of course the UK). For the government to say that the EU will fine us if we don’t implement this is ridiculous, unless of course all the rest of the members of the EU are fined as well.

To this end I have set up a petition on the Government’s web site and was wondering if you would like to go online and support us.
