Have your say before Brussels make life unbearable...

[carlosthejack...]

Have your say on the impending effort to have this legislation brought in:

https://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/General-news/2010/September/sep2210-euro-moto-threat/_/R-EPI-126876


The form is here:

https://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=roadworthiness


My thoughts in the last box:

I believe that a PTI and random roadside inspections without suspicion are punitive and unecessarily penalise lawful and legal drivers and riders. It's completely inappropriate. I consider myself a Europhile, but this is a case of legislation for legislations sake. And the amount of businesses and employees it's likely to have an adverse effect on doesn't bear thinking about. Leave the lawful motorist/biker alone. Put your efforts into catching those that drive unlicensed and uninsured. They give the rest of us a bad name, not the fact that we've got aftermarket accessories on our cars/bikes.

Already done this and opted for 'no change', but you know what the EU is like when it gets an idea in it's head like this.

I imagine that most other Euro countries won't worry about it as much as we would (as some are already there, afaik?) so I'm not hopeful of a happy ending.

But still worth signing tho, as you never know, it just might make a difference.

its the constant shit like this which is happening more and more frequently which makes me want to stick 2 fingers up to the whole europe thing.

Sooner we get a government with the balls to scrap our membership, the better now!

The EU grew out of the European Iron and Steel federation and Euratom, which were set up (especially the former) in order to prevent disputes over the iron ore in the border areas between France and Germany becoming a trigger point for further conflict after WW2.
