Police in ‘stay safe’ appeal to bikers as weather improves
Police are urging motorbike riders not to put themselves at risk as more take to the roads with the improving weather.
West Mercia Police have issued the reminder following the launch of their Think Bike campaign last month.
Local Policing Assistant Chief Constable, Martin Evans, said: "We know there are some great routes for motorbike riders through our counties and that during the warmer months riders want to make the most of these.
"We have seen cases where the driving behaviour of bikers has caused concern and the rider has unnecessarily put themselves and other road users at risk.
"Bikers can often be at greater risk of being involved in a collision and we want to make sure everything is being done to reduce this.
"All road users have a responsibility in making our roads safer. We know motorbike riders are more vulnerable and would ask that riders make sure they do their bit by not taking unnecessary risks."
Police will be carrying out proactive operations on key routes utilising a number of different tactics throughout the summer months to target irresponsible and reckless road users.
