CIE 'will benefit honest motorcyclists'

The new changes surrounding motorcycle insurance means bikers must ensure they are compliant with the law so they do not have their bike seized and destroyed.

Simon Jackson, commercial director at Carole Nash, said that the Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE) law is designed to reduce the number of uninsured riders on the roads.

However, it will affect all those with a licence who will be obliged from June 20th to have a valid Statutory Off Road Notice in place.

Mr Jackson said that the amendments to the law are welcome and should make things better for other motorists.

"This new law is the latest weapon in the ongoing war on uninsured riders and drivers whose selfish actions cost the law-abiding majority about £30 on their insurance. That's what it costs us all to pay the bills for crashes involving uninsured and untraceable road users," he added.

Road safety minister Mike Penning said recently that those who flout the law can expect their vehicle to be seized and destroyed.
