Petition To Retain a Local Test Centre

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   The Motorcycle Action Group North East Lincs calls upon The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) to retain a motorcycle test facility in North East Lincolnshire.

By the DSA's own standards the distance to the nearest MPTC (Multi Purpose Test Centre) from this area is too great. The DSA have stated that people taking their test should not have to travel more than 20 miles or 45 minutes. Lincoln is 36 miles and Sc**thorpe 30 it would take longer than 45 minutes to travel to either for a learner on a 125cc motorcycle. 

A meeting has been arranged for next Monday 20th October at The Barge, Riverhead, Grimsby for all 2 (or 3) wheeled riders interested in campaigning to retain a testing facility in this area. 
Please go to the main website and sign the online petition.
