[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 77838, member: 161"] [QUOTE From the ACU Page:] It is clear to see from the Government Impact Assessment that "when compulsory competitor-to-competitor third party liability insurance was introduced in Finland it effectively ended grassroots motorsport in the country because this cost became prohibitive for the amateur motorsport enthusiast"[/QUOTE] We should not fog this issue with talk of European Union representatives and their pay or UK membership of the EU. My understanding of this ruling (I may be wrong) is that it does apply to the UK and the UK government is obliged to implement it. Scroll up and [U]fully[/U] read Vibrac's post #47. What are other EU states doing about this? Other EU states have lots of amateur motorcycle sport competitors who surely aren't happy with compulsory competitor-to-competitor third party liability insurance. A Europe without grass roots amateur sport would make the path to becoming a professional difficult or impossible. We might then ask the question what future motorsport as a whole. Perhaps we need to concentrate on this quoted from Vibrac's post #47: [I] the European Motor Insurance Directive (MID) can be changed to remove certain vehicles from the scope of the Directive, and therefore Vnuk. It is here that we have focused considerable effort. [/I] [/QUOTE]
