This is some very interesting reading , the leeter has been made public .
We have Vic roads to thank.
so much for VMAC being an advisory board when they dont listen too them .
for those who dont know what VMAC is , it is a board of riders, police, emergancy services, TAC and larger bike clubs that the goverment set up too take advise from in regards to motorcycling issues.
VIC ROADS is doing there own thing , the letter shows they screwed us again , same as WRB .
At last nights(Thurs 14th) VMAC meeting opposition to the front number plate proposal was again expressed by several members.
The lack of evidence for their necessity, the technical aspects and the inequity of making riders pay for this were among the many points raised. Also the meetings displeasure that the paper had come to VMAC from an outside source and had not been presented previously was also made known. Not to mention the fact that the impression had been given some time ago that the matter was to be quietly dropped.
This is what is currently happening at a Federal level:
At present the Regulatory Inpact Statement (TIS) will soon be coming up before the Standing Committee on Transport. At this point SCOT will decide to shelve it or move to a consultation phase. After a consultation phase then a decision will be made whether to implement it. Then it will be up to the individual states.
In order to prevent the impression that VMAC is at all in favour of this, Neil O'Keefe, chair of VMAC has given approval to release the following letter written over a year ago to the Minister.
