This is in MCN and they are in the business of selling papers. Take it with a pinch of salt.

The Motorcyle Action Group (MAG) believes its a step towards reduced insurance payouts for riders NOT in hi-vis, to be followed by new laws making the gear compulsary.

Huge leap in logic and sensationalist.
Put me off joing MAG tbh (sorry fj, jsut sayingn how I felt when I read it).
You must remember MAG is not just about high VIS jackets. They have done a lot of good over the years. Email MAG and tell them what you think about the statement.
