On Tuesday 24th June two drivers' groups, the Alliance of British Drivers and the National Motorists' Action Group, came together to launch The Motorists' Charter. The purpose of the Charter is to highlight demands for a fairer deal for drivers: and set them out in a well researched document that can be presented to politicians and others during the run-up to next year's election, which appropriately also happens to be the 800th anniversary of that other famous charter, the Magna Carta.In a parliamentary committee room at Westminster, our Charter was introduced by Lord Lucas, with speeches from Alex Henney of NMAG and ABD director Ian Taylor.For the ABD, Ian Taylor said that this was a tool that motorists could use when electioneering was underway. He highlighted the vast sums of money extracted from Britain's drivers and contrasted with the dire state of our roads, years of underinvestment and a culture of decrying private road use and a perceived need to discourage motoring. He hoped that the document would be widely read and discussed.The full Charter may be read on ABD's website: www.abd.org.uk
