The Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council (MSAC) announced the reappointment of Janice Millman, Andrew Darrell and David Golightly earlier this month.

What MSAC do
Youll know that as motorcyclists we all pay levies to cover our injuries as part of our annual motorcycle registration cost, but have you wondered what the $30 motorcycle safety levy (MSL) component was for? Its for the Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council, who advise its use for initiatives that will make riding on New Zealand roads safer.
