Bikesafe this Summer Wirral Council is supporting bikers to be safe this summer with a series of discounted safety sessions. Statistics show that although motorbikes only make up around 1% of the vehicles on Britain’s roads, they account for around 20% of all collisions. Bikesafe sessions are run by members of the Institute of Advanced Motorists and Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, and are suitable for riders of any experience or ability. For a limited period, Wirral residents can save 50% off the course cost. Sessions take place on 13th and 14th July, 3rd and 4th August, 7th and 8th September and 12th and 13th October. Cllr Harry Smith, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transportation said: “The numbers of accidents which involve motorcyclists are hugely disproportionate to the number of bikes we see on our streets. There is clearly still work to be done to improve the safety of motorcyclists and that comes from both sides – from those who ride bikes and other drivers who need to be aware of them.” To take advantage of attending a Bikesafe course for only £30.00 please contact Wirral Council Road Safety Officer Kelly Hodgson on 0151 606 2147 or email [email protected] with your preferred workshop date.
