DRIVERS are being urged to ‘Think Bike’ by local Police for National Motorcycle Week of Action.
From 2015-2017 46 people were killed and 557 seriously injured following collisions involving motorcycles in Warwickshire and West Mercia.
The ‘Think Bike’ campaign aims to raise awareness among all motorists and encourage all road users to share the road responsibly.
Yellow signage with ‘Think Bike’, ‘Ride Safely’ and ‘Check Your Mirrors for Bikes’ will continue to be sited on popular routes across the alliance area where collisions have occurred in the past three years.
Subsidised training is also on offer to all those living and riding in the area.
The Take Control course is available to all riders of mopeds, scooters and motorbikes in Warwickshire and West Mercia who want to brush up on their biking skills or become a better rider in preparation for their full test.
The full-day course is tailored to the needs of the individual rider, so is suitable for beginners and experienced riders alike.
The course is subsidised by the Safer Roads Partnership and offers great value when compared to the usual cost of motorcycle or moped skills training.
