AS I understand ...

The changes so far, means the LTSA require NO other law change ... to change the licence conditions ... it is now at their descretion when they do so ...

Read section 27 and 37 regarding motorcycles ...

But the whole lot is interesting ...

In short ... it has been stated it will be implemented by 2020 ... MY bet is it will be sooner ...

Good to know, I was a little worried my Scorpio would end up worthless pretty soon (no comments please!!!) now I can keep it a little longer for my daily commute and keep the bigger one for fun times (or until one of the registrations runs out then the little one is gone!!

).

Hey I just thought 2020, I will be retiring then so don't need a bike 'cos I'll will get my bus pass...
