Every year thousands of people are killed or seriously injured on our roads. Motorcyclists suffer disproportionately. They represent less than 1% of the traffic on the road but account for almost 18% of deaths and serious injuries. They are 45 times more likely to be killed than a car driver and the figures are rising year after year.
What is Bike Safe?
Bike Safe is an initiative run by the police forces across the UK. Its aim is to encourage motorcyclists to ride in a safe, professional and conflict free environment, to seek out further training to develop their skills and abilities. We encourage motorcyclists to update their road knowledge as well as their skills. Check out www.highwaycode.gov.uk for the latest rules of the roads, speed limits and road signs.
Bike Safe also aims to create a genuine desire to learn ‘lifetime riding skills’, thereby promoting safe riding and reducing casualties. Bike Safe bridges the gap between your initial training before going onto doing more advanced rider training with a recognised provider.
