[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 76827, member: 60"] Wonder of Wonders the ACU has actually taken notice of a political move affecting motorcycling Its another EU type organisation ill thought out clap trap that we should be used to and an example of the sort of thing that was real reason why I for one voted out Here via the ACU is the first part: [I]Yesterday, the Government issued a [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/motor-insurance-consideration-of-the-vnuk-judgment']document for public consultation[/URL], which gives an option of implementing the European Court decision known as the ‘Vnuk judgment’. The ruling makes it compulsory for anyone using any form of motorised transport to have third party damage and injury insurance. This will affect [B]all[/B] participants in [B]all [/B]forms of motorsport. The insurance industry has made it clear to government that third party risks for motorsport activities are [B]uninsurable[/B], not least because of the sheer number of potential vehicle damage claims that would arise. Therefore, if implemented, the Vnuk judgment would wipe out all legal motor and motorcycle sport activity.[/I] The government document states: [I]UK legislation provides victims of motor vehicle accidents with a route to claiming compensation where the driver is at fault, where the accident involves a vehicle which is designed for road use and where the accident occurs on a road or other public place. However, that route to compensation is not currently available to victims of accidents which occur on private land; or to victims of accidents which are caused by the negligent use of non-road-going vehicles. Government intervention is required to amend domestic legislation to ensure that victims are compensated in these instances, an obligation which was clarified by the European Court of Justice in 2014 in the “Vnuk judgment”. [/I] Apart from the problems this rubbish idea causes how do these people think these things up and spend our money doing so, without thinking through about the consequences? but then do they care? watching bits of the BBC sports awards you would be forgiven for thinking that motor sport especially on two wheels does not exist- Its all a long way from John Surtees winning it back in 1959 [/QUOTE]
