    "We call on the Government to scrap VAT on life-saving air vests which are currently subject to 20% VAT rate. Other lifesaving equipment, like helmets, are either zero or lower rated. Motorcyclists have one of the highest fatality rates per passenger mile of any road user, and with many good quality air vests costing in excess of £400, we believe making these cheaper by scrapping VAT will save many lives and prevent serious injuries."

  17. Maybe a motorcycle mag like Ride could mention the petition or some such media acknowledgment.

  19. There’s a chance if it helps the magazine’s advertising sales.
