MOTORBIKERS riders are being urged by Police to make sure they’re not putting their own safety, and the safety of others at risk.
The reminder comes as officers from West Mercia seek to reinforce their commitment to making local roads even safer and coincides with the 2019 ‘Think bike’ campaign.
Bikers can often be at greater risk and while the campaign aims to increase awareness of the hazards they face, Police also want to make sure bikers are not unnecessarily putting their own lives at risk by riding irresponsibly.
Local Policing Assistant Chief Constable, Martin Evans, said: “We have seen cases where the driving of bikers has caused concern and the rider has unnecessarily put themselves and other road users at risk.
“All road users have a responsibility in making our roads safer, we know motorbike riders are more vulnerable and would ask they make sure they do their bit by not taking unnecessary risks.”
