Why this chapter

Holding a licence and owning a motorcycle means taking on a responsibility the law is clear about. This chapter covers the registration document, registration and insurance, what the machine is approved to carry, the sanctions when rules are broken – and why health, intoxication and fatigue leave a smaller margin on two wheels than on four.
