Whilst some claim there is a declining desire amongst younger people to enter motorcycling, the reality is that over-stringent and complex licensing requirements have made motorcycling an unaffordable choice for most. This is having severely negative social and road safety consequences. Instead of integrating into a society of older, experienced motorcyclists providing positive role models and life guidance, as was once the norm, younger adults now often fall into circles involved in anti-social activities and crime. Riders seek simplification and cost savings whilst maintaining safety standards.  Government should accept that as the end goal and then actively discuss with stakeholders - including MAG and the industry - how to achieve it.
