A new road safety campaign aimed at motorcyclists has been launched in Leeds.

West Yorkshire authorities along with Safer Roads Humber and South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership have launched the campaign to highlight the perils of being a motorbike rider on the region’s roads. It comes in the light of figures which show that motorbike riders make up just 1% of traffic on the roads but are involved in 21% of road accidents.

Riders themselves have taken part in the campaign which features slogans including 'someone's son', 'someone's wife' and 'someone's brother’. A website has been launched and there will also be radio adverts as well as posters, leaflets and a 15-foot long advertising van.

Dave Glanville, motorcycle road safety officer in West Yorkshire said: “We’re hopeful that riders themselves will join in with the campaign by wearing the tabards that re-enforce the message to other road users that we’re not just anonymous faceless riders on bikes, we’re real people with family and friends and we all need to look out for each other on the roads.”

From start to finish, Winston Solicitors' service was outstanding. A special thank you to Leasa, who was professional, approachable and incredibly supportive throughout what can often be a stressful process. Her communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured every step of the way.One feature that really stood out was the online dashboard, which made it easy to see exactly where we were in the process and what actions, if any, we needed to take. It gave us real peace of mind.Leasa and her colleague Julie are a real credit to the firm. Their dedication, efficiency and friendly approach made our property transaction feel smooth and straightforward. I've already recommended Leasa to family members, and I wouldn't hesitate to use Winston Solicitors again.Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one.
