According to the British Motorcyclists Federation, motorcycles are becoming more and more of an attractive option, with those commuting to work in the city of London. It has been suggested that the reasons for this is a combination of individuals not wanting to pay the congestion charge, as well as the fact that people are now wanting to proceed more swiftly in traffic, has led to a higher population of motorcycles in London.

This is a view by Jeff Stone who is the public relations manager for BMF media. He further commented on the issue saying “Indeed the rising use of this type of vehicle has meant that accidents have actually decreased, which could spell good news for riders’ motorbike insurance premiums, he said. “

He also stated “Because of the increase of people using motorcycles and the decrease in people using cars, the accident rates have actually gone down in London.”
