Road Safety for Motorcyclists - 19 September 2012
|
| |
Minister for Road Safety Jennifer Rankine has released a discussion paper
outlining six proposals to help improve the safety of motorbike and moped riders.
The Minister has also issued a News Release on the six proposals.
The discussion paper is titled 'Proposals to Protect Motorcyclists' and is your invitation to comment.
The MRASA encourages all motorcyclists to read the proposal, chat with their riding mates and then
let the Government know what they think. This will impact you and the way you ride. It will impact
the riders of tomorrow. We asked for riders to be consulted and this is your opportunity to have your say.
The Adelaide Now (media website) has some articles on the subject:
Article 1 - SA Government pushes for restrictions on motorcyclists
Article 2 - Scooters and low-cc motorbikes a target in safety plan for South Australian roads
You may like to read the published MRASA response
or the AMC response
to the discussion paper on the six proposed motorcycle licensing changes.

Motorcycling Fact Sheet - Roadworthiness
|
| |
We are providing a copy of the Motorcycling Fact Sheet as
published by the DPTI (formerly DTEI) for the benefit of members and the motorcycling public.
Our aim is to publicise a readily available document in the interests of ensuring our
members understand the minimum requirements for their bike to be roadworthy. If by following the
guidelines a member finds their bike needs work, the potential saving is about $500 ($350 fine for
riding an unroadworthy vehicle and at least $150 fee for the inspection to certify the defect has
been fixed) and then there is the demerit points and possible time off work to attend the assessment
to be considered as well.
